Big-bodied interior anchor with real pass-rush upside
Jirah Leaupepetele looks like a classic disruption piece at defensive tackle: a massive 6-foot-3, 322-pound frame, three-down potential, and enough mobility to survive on all downs. In the 2025 season, he played in all 12 games for Eastern Washington and finished with 24 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and a fumble recovery, while his recruiting profile praised him as a run-stopper who can also rush the passer. He’s a fit if a team wants size, physicality, and developmental upside in the middle—think sturdy, tough, and annoyingly hard to move.
