Wake Forest's 291-lb DL Powerhouse with 3 Sacks and Elite TFL Intensity
Dallas Afalava, the 6'1", 291-lb defensive lineman from Seattle, WA, transferred to Wake Forest in January 2025 and immediately became a force, recording 11 solo tackles, 3 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 1 interception in the 2025 season[3]. His differentiator is relentless intensity and a knack for tackles for loss (TFL), ranking third on Idaho’s 2024 team in TFLs before his transfer[4]. Afalava plays with a high-energy, physical personality that elevates the entire defensive unit, showing no injury history and maintaining peak intensity every game. He’s a perfect fit for teams needing a heavy, sack-producing DL who brings both strength and football IQ, making him a standout for any roster seeking a reliable, high-impact defender[3][4].
