Keanu Tanuvasa brings NFL-caliber size, experience, and disruption to BYU’s defensive front
Keanu Tanuvasa is a high-floor, high-upside BYU defensive tackle who has already shown he can produce at a power-conference level: in the 2025 season, he started all 14 games for the Cougars and posted 25 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and 2.0 sacks after transferring from Utah. He’s valued for his 6-foot-4, 300-pound frame, positional versatility, and physical style, with evaluators calling him a reliable trench defender who can fit multiple fronts. The bigger story: he also brings leadership, maturity, and pro-level buzz, with some draft analysts viewing him as an NFL-caliber interior defender.
