disruptive TCU edge with proven backfield production
In the 2015 season, Mike Tuaua was a productive, high-motor defensive end for TCU, logging 8.5 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries while starting five games and appearing in all 12 regular-season contests[4][2]. The big selling point is his playmaking burst off the edge: he showed he can finish in the backfield and create turnovers, not just occupy blocks[4]. He also dealt with shoulder surgery in the spring before 2015 and later a team suspension, so durability and off-field reliability are part of the evaluation[5][1].
