IBK Mafe brings proven run support and disruption value to South Alabama
In the 2025 season, Mafe posted 11 tackles for South Alabama, and his earlier St. Thomas seasons showed a sturdier playmaker profile: 55 career tackles, eight tackles for loss, two sacks, and three forced fumbles, including a 2024 campaign with 33 tackles and two forced fumbles. He stands out more as a physical, high-effort defender who creates chaos than as a pure box-score producer, with enough versatility to help against the run and on pressure packages. The fit is strongest for a team that values toughness, motor, and splash-play upside over flashy counting stats.[7][10]
