BYU freshman DT David Tangilanu brings NFL-ish size and upside to the rotation
David Tangilanu enters 2026 as a 6-foot-5, 280-pound freshman defensive tackle for BYU, and the buzz is about his frame, developmental upside, and early camp reps rather than gaudy stat totals[1][5][13]. Sports Illustrated noted he earned second-team work in fall camp, drew praise from upperclassmen, and is currently slotted as a reserve who could log a handful of snaps[10]. If you want a long, athletic interior defender with real growth potential and a sturdy base against the run, he’s the kind of prospect worth caring about.
