Toby Anene is an FCS disruptor with edge-rush juice and proven takeaway ability
Anene’s calling card is impact plays: in the 2025 season, he started all 13 games at North Dakota State and posted 27 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, 6 pass deflections, 5 quarterback hurries, 1 forced fumble, and 1 fumble recovery, earning a preseason Buck Buchanan watch-list nod as a top FCS defender.[14][4] At 6-foot-4 and about 259 pounds, he brings length, burst, and violence off the edge, with reports noting 38 pressures and strong pass-rush grading in 2025.[2][10] If your team wants a mature, high-motor DE who can win with pressure and create turnovers, he’s a very good fit—just know the production comes from disruption, not pure volume tackling.[4][10]
