Big-bodied interior plug with power and pedigree
In the 2025 season, AJ Tanupo appeared in five games for Montana State and logged two assisted tackles, while his high school tape showed a disruptive interior defender with 56 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, and a sack in 2023. At 6-2 and around 291 pounds, he brings the kind of anchor-heavy frame coaches love for controlling gaps, plus early college experience and a reputation as a physical, high-motor lineman. If your team needs a developing DT who can hold the point and grow into more snaps, he’s a fit; if you want instant splash-production, he’s still on the climb.
