Sami Awad brings experienced, space-eating nose tackle play to Texas State
Awad profiles as a stout interior defender with proven college snaps at nose tackle, giving Texas State a rugged plug in the middle rather than a flashy stat-chaser. In his Texas State season, he played in 12 games with eight starts and finished with 16 tackles, including one assisted sack against Wyoming, while ESPN listed him with 13 solo tackles and 0.5 sacks. His value is in leverage, toughness, and early-down run control—traits that matter if you want a dependable interior body who can absorb blocks and keep linebackers clean.
