Veteran interior anchor with Big Sky toughness and run-stopping value
Jordon Tagaloa is the kind of defensive tackle coaches love: a veteran Portland State lineman with Big Sky experience, the most starts on the defense, and a reputation as a run stopper. In the 2024 season, he played all 11 games, started every one, and logged 28 tackles, including a career-high six against UC Davis; Portland State’s 2025 notes also say he will be vital to the run defense. The tape-and-role read is simple: durable, experienced, physical, and trusted in the middle, which makes him a strong fit for teams needing inside stability more than flashy sack numbers.
