He’s from New Zealand and he’s enormous
To find the right guys to help build a program, sometimes college football teams have to look in unlikely places. For Arizona that meant discovering a massive defensive lineman from New Zealand in Kansas, of all places.
The Wildcats have announced the signing of 3-star junior college prospect Zac Siulepa, who checks in at 6-foot-7 and 365 pounds.

Originally from Auckland, New Zealand, Siulepa played high school football in Australia before heading to the U.S. and spending this past season at Garden City Community College in Kansas. He had 16 tackles with a sack and a forced fumble in seven games for Garden City.
UTSA is the only other listed offer for Siulepa on 247Sports, which ranks him as the 59th-best JUCO prospect in the 2025 recruiting class.
Siulepa gives Arizona 21 known commitments in the 2025 recruiting class, nearly all of which have signed Wednesday as the Early Signing Period begins.
