Brett Karhu keeps bringing heat off the edge for New Mexico

In the 2025 season, Brett Karhu emerged as a disruptive New Mexico edge defender, finishing with 29 tackles, 7.5 sacks, and 11 tackles for loss while showing the burst and leverage that make him a nuisance for quarterbacks[2][9]. He’s undersized for a classic DE at 6-foot-0, 226 pounds, but his motor, acceleration, and backfield timing stand out; EA Sports even graded him as a 69 overall with 83 acceleration and 77 strength[3][14]. He also returned to camp in August 2026 after an eligibility ruling, so his presence adds proven production and veteran edge energy[12].
