94 DAYS TO 2024 KICKOFF: Titus Tuiasosopo

Titus Tuiasosopo is a redshirt junior defensive tackle at Kansas State, listed at 6-foot-3 and 318 pounds. A preferred walk-on, Tuiasosopo has steadily worked his way up the Wildcats' depth chart after redshirting in 2021 and not seeing game action in 2022. In 2023, he played in three games as a reserve defensive tackle against SEMO, Houston, and Baylor, earning first-team Academic All-Big 12 honors.

Tuiasosopo prepped at Wamego High School under head coach Weston Moody, where he earned all-state honors from The Topeka Capital-Journal as a junior. He also competed in track and field. Despite scholarship offers from Northern Colorado and several junior colleges, he chose to walk on at K-State.Matthew Liberatore Jersey,

Football runs deep in the Tuiasosopo family. His father, Mike Tuiasosopo, is the Wildcats' defensive tackles coach. His cousin, Marques Tuiasosopo, played quarterback at Washington, was drafted by the Raiders, and is currently an offensive coordinator. His uncle, Bob Apisa, was a two-time All-American fullback at Michigan State and was drafted by the Green Bay Packers. Another family member, Manu Tuiasosopo, was a two-time All-American defensive lineman at UCLA, a first-round pick by the Seahawks in 1979, and a Super Bowl XIX champion with the 49ers.

Titus’ father, Mike, has spoken about the unique dynamic of coaching his son at K-State, acknowledging the balance between mentoring as a coach and as a father. He appreciates how the older players in the defensive line room have helped develop the younger players, including Titus.

Kansas State started the 2024 season strong with a 41-6 win over UT Martin, moving up to No. 17 in the AP Poll. The Wildcats are looking to build on their success as they navigate the season with a mix of returning stars and new faces.
