Tano Letuli is the Aztecs’ tone-setting, twitchy middle linebacker
In the 2026 season, Tano Letuli has opened with 5 tackles in San Diego State’s first game and enters the year as a senior captain and the defense’s on-field traffic cop. He’s a physical, athletic 6-foot-2, 240-pound linebacker whose value goes beyond box-score production: SDSU calls him a “very athletic, twitchy linebacker,” and local coverage says he’s fully back from a torn ACL suffered in 2025, with his practice workload managed as he ramps up. That combo of energy, leadership, and playmaking makes him a strong fit if you want a rugged, high-IQ linebacker who can anchor a defense.
