Nemo Fungula brings rangy freshman upside to NAU’s secondary
Nemo Fungula enters 2026 as a 6-foot-1, 195-pound freshman safety at Northern Arizona, arriving as a three-star recruit and first-team all-league defender after piling up 88 tackles, 5 interceptions, and 2 forced fumbles in high school during the 2025 season pipeline. He looks like a classic “fit and finish” DB: physical enough to help near the line, athletic enough to cover ground, and young enough that the ceiling still feels bigger than the box score. For a team, that means developmental upside with early special-teams and subpackage value.
