San Jose State’s steady, high-end interior enforcer
Talavou looks like the kind of veteran OL who quietly upgrades an offense: in 2024, he started 11 games, earned All-Mountain West Honorable Mention, and helped San Jose State allow just 12 sacks while the passing game finished fifth nationally at 321.8 yards per game[1][13]. He brings proven durability, experience, and a plug-and-play feel inside, plus a resume that suggests coaches trust him in high-leverage snaps[1][14]. The one caution flag is that he missed one 2023 game with injury, but overall he profiles as a reliable, physical, team-first fit for a line that wants stability and competence with a little nasty in the mix[4][13].
