Junior Tuihalamaka brings veteran edge depth and a high-motor dose of SEC-ready toughness to LSU
Junior Tuihalamaka is a seasoned 6-foot-2, 255-pound defensive end who arrived at LSU after four years and 54 games at Notre Dame, where he produced 61 tackles, 9 tackles for loss, and 4 sacks through the 2025 season. He’s not a pure headline stat monster, but he adds exactly the kind of reliable, physical edge depth contenders love: experience, toughness, athleticism, and a reputation for playing with a high motor. For a team that wants rotational pressure and grown-man durability, he’s a smart fit.
