Auburn landed a commitment from New Zealand offensive line standout Nikau Hepi this week.
The 6'7, 353-pound offensive tackle from the NFL Academy Asia-Pacific on Australia’s Gold Coast began his career playing rugby and only took up American football in late 2024.
Hepi is the first-ever student-athlete from the NFL Academy Asia-Pacific campus to commit to a U.S. college.
He is rated a three-star prospect and ranked among the top 300 offensive tackles in his class.
