Jaiden Letua brings veteran size and Big Sky toughness to NAU’s linebacker room
Jaiden Letua is a physical, downhill linebacker for Northern Arizona who enters the 2026 season listed at 6-foot-1, 240 pounds as a redshirt senior, giving the Lumberjacks an experienced presence in the middle of the defense. His best selling points are size, toughness, and special-teams/role-player value built over multiple seasons in the program, with earlier production that included five tackles and a pass breakup in 2022 against Northern Colorado. He looks like a fit for teams wanting a sturdy, disciplined linebacker who can handle contact, play with some edge, and bring grown-man minutes rather than flashy stat-padding.
