Kitione Tau brings veteran DL grit and backfield disruption to Nevada
Kitione Tau is a seasoned defensive lineman whose best-known impact came in the 2023 season at Bowling Green, when he posted 46 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, and 1 fumble recovery; in 2024 at Nevada, he logged season-high production with three tackles and a tackle for loss against Fresno State. He’s the kind of interior defender coaches like for his experience, physicality, and ability to make a few disruptive plays without needing the spotlight, though his 2024 stat line suggests he was more steady depth than splashy star.
