Massive, versatile, and battle-tested: Mana Taimani adds trench depth to Colorado
Mana Taimani enters Colorado as a 6-5, 340-pound graduate transfer who brings rare positional versatility, having played offensive line, defensive line, and special teams in recent seasons. In 2025 at Colorado, he appeared in seven games, logging 25 defensive snaps with two tackles and 20 special-teams snaps after transitioning from offense to defense midseason. His value is less about eye-popping stat lines and more about size, flexibility, and willingness to do the dirty work — a useful fit for a team needing an experienced, physical, short-term depth piece.
