Jackson Lataimua brings veteran safety instincts and transfer-market toughness to North Texas
In the 2025 season, Jackson Lataimua appeared in eight games for North Texas and made one start, finishing with six tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss; across his Washington State and UNT career, he has shown he can be a steady, physical back-end defender with 67 career tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, an interception, and a fumble recovery. He looks like the kind of safety coaches trust for run support, communication, and reliable pursuit angles rather than splashy stat-padding, and his multi-year Power Five experience gives him a mature, ready-made presence for a defense that values discipline.
