Michael Iupati (/iːjuːˈpɑːti/ or /juːˈpɑːti/ (ee-)ew-PAH-tee; born May 12, 1987) is an American football guard for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League (NFL). A native of American Samoa, Iupati was raised in California. He played college football at Idaho, and earned consensus All-American honors. He was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
A native of American Samoa, Iupati attended Western High School in Anaheim, California, where he began playing football under the guidance of Odell Harrington, the school's half-Samoan football coach. His first chances to play came in his sophomore year, when senior Fili Moala injured his foot two games into the season. Playing lineman on both sides of the ball, Iupati received all-state and all-conference honors and served as a team captain. As a junior, he had 80 tackles and 12 sacks, and earned a first-team All-CIF selection. Iupati also competed in wrestling and track & field (52-2 or 15.95m in the shotput).
