Big, physical NAU trench piece with room to pop
In the 2026 season, Maddox Valoaga is a 6'3", 250-pound redshirt freshman defensive lineman for Northern Arizona who already looks built for Big Sky football, with early-game production showing he’s active in the rotation and around the ball. He’s the kind of lineman you notice because of his frame, versatility, and downhill style; NAU’s roster notes also point to a strong high-school résumé at Faith Lutheran, where he logged 102 tackles and 24 tackles for loss. If you want a young developmental DL with real upside and physicality, he’s a solid watch.
