emerging Utah State DT with early flashes of disruptive upside
Jorge Tapia is listed on Utah State’s 2026 football roster at defensive tackle, and an older Utah State football recap describes him as a player who "made huge strides toward the end of the season" and was part of a duo that accounted for 24 tackles for loss in that campaign. That points to a lineman who can flash late-season growth and interior disruption rather than just eat space. If you want a low-drama, high-motor trench piece with developing upside, Tapia is the kind of bet coaches love to make.
