Topou OT 6-6 330 Rocklin, CA
The honorable mention
All-American (J.C. Grid-Wire) is ranked 34th
in the country among junior college recruits
by rivals.com. Helped pave the way for the
Wolverines to finish the regular season 12th
in the state in total offense (430.7 avg.).
The two-time all-Mid Empire Conference pick
proved to be a dominant force along the offensive
line at tackle at the junior college level
yet possesses the athleticism to play either
tackle or guard in Oregon’s offense
which places a premium on strength up the
middle. Developed into a key component for
a program which extended its winning streak
to 37 games before dropping a late-season
contest to Feather River College.
