• Rated three stars by 247Sports and the publication has him ranked as the No. 23 defensive end nationally
• Lettered for head coach Jordan Brusig
• 247Sports analyst Greg Biggins on Lolohea: “He’s a naturally strong kid who plays with a relentless motor and a (top-notch) passion and energy. He’s strong at the point of attack as well and is active in run support but his forte is getting up the field and pressing the quarterback and he’s among the state’s best at it.”
• Rivals analyst Adam Gorney on Lolohea: “Lolohea is active and athletic off the snap and he’s got excellent moves to beat offensive tackles into the backfield. What I like about him is his ability to track down quarterbacks who fled the pocket and make tackles. He’s an active guy with a relentless motor who should get more physical as he adds weight in a college program.”
• Born in Tonga
• Son of Ungatea and Isileli Lolohea
• Has three brothers: Hingano, Fineasi and Kulisi
• Intends to study physical education at Oregon State
• Chose Oregon State “Because it felt like home on my visit. The coaches and players value my culture and my academic goals. I am excited to be a part of the Oregon State Family.”
• Said Brusig of Lolohea: “Sione has worked hard and sacrificed so much for this opportunity given to him by Oregon State. I have no doubt he will bring that fire to Beaver Nation. Oregon State’s coaches got themselves a positive and hardworking young man.”
