BYU’s massive young nose tackle with power potential
Alvin Puefua is an emerging BYU defensive tackle whose appeal starts with size and upside: at roughly 6-foot-4 and 315-325 pounds, he was a consensus three-star recruit and Utah’s top-ranked defensive line prospect out of West High School after posting 51 tackles, 11 tackles for loss and two sacks as a senior in 2023. He redshirted at Hawaii in 2024, appearing in only two games, so the stat line is light, but the fit is intriguing for a team that wants a big, physical interior lineman with developmental runway and multi-year eligibility left.[3][5][6][7]
