July 21, 2018
Sefo Liufau drew on his Samoan heritage and multi-sport background to become a top quarterback prospect at Bellarmine Prep before committing to Colorado.

Sefo Liufau understood what football meant to Samoan families: a pathway to opportunity. The quarterback at Bellarmine Prep in Tacoma, Washington carried that cultural weight every time he took the field.

Liufau's strong arm, mobility, and football intelligence earned him a scholarship to the University of Colorado. But his proudest moments came from the approval of family, particularly his younger siblings Malia and Seiya, who have special needs. Football opened doors for Liufau, and he planned to keep them open for those who looked up to him.
