Koi Taiese brings twitch, heavy hands and real upside to San Diego State's defensive front
Taiese is a technically polished defensive lineman with a quick first strike, heavy hands and the athleticism to win both with speed and power at the point of attack, which makes him more than just a space-eater. Evaluators describe him as “very athletic for his size,” a strong sign he can fit in an aggressive college front and develop into an impact interior defender. His profile centers on disruption, leverage and motor rather than flashy counting stats, so he looks like a good fit for a team that values disciplined, high-upside trench play.
