Transfer from Georgia Tech emerges as likely starting ASU center
Tana Alo-Tupuola played two years at Georgia Tech. He has transferred to ASU8 and looks like he'll be the starter at center
Santana Alo-Tupuola, a junior center at Arizona State, is poised to start for the Sun Devils in the 2026 season. The transfer from Georgia Tech was a significant one for Alo-Tupuola, who had previously played for the Yellow Jackets in the ACC. He joined ASU in 2024 and had already made an impact, appearing in 10 games in 2025 and starting four.
Offensive line coach Saga Tuitele played a crucial role in convincing Alo-Tupuola to join ASU, praising the staff's dedication and shared values. Alo-Tupuola, who is majoring in business administration, is particularly known for his physicality and willingness to engage in contact. He is expected to be a strong contender for the starting center position, alongside other incoming players such as Maki Stewart and Wade Helton.
