Corte Tapia brings old-school toughness and versatility to the Rams
Tapia’s value is the kind coaches love: a physical, high-motor fullback type with a defensive résumé that once included 93 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, seven sacks, a forced fumble, and a punt-block TD in his 2016 high school season. He’s the sort of player who can add grit, lead-blocking edge, and special-teams punch, with a background as an all-state athlete who also ran for 257 yards and six scores. If your team wants a tone-setter who plays with contact-first intensity rather than flash, Tapia fits the bill.
