Josh Tupou came from a football family where three cousins have played or are playing college football and his uncle, Viliami Mauau played at CU and with the Denver Broncos in the 1990s. He almost lost his right to complete his football career, however, after being charged with assault at a campus party in Boulder.
That action cost him the entire 2015 season. Scouts were excited to see him that year after he garnered honorable mention All-Pac12 honors in 2014 (29 tackles, four for loss, three sacks).
Tupou signed with the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted free agent on May 5, 2017. He was waived on September 2, 2017, and was signed to the practice squad the next day. He was promoted to the active roster on November 11, 2017.
