About Tanuvasa Updated Aug 7, 2026

Pepe Tanuvasa brings reliable snap-to-snap production and disruptive backfield juice for BYU

In his 2021 BYU season, Pepe Tanuvasa was a steady, high-impact defensive lineman who played all 13 games, started nine, and finished with 42 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 3 quarterback hurries, and an interception. His calling cards are durability, knack for living in the backfield, and a proven ability to create negative plays, with BYU crediting him for the team’s best sack and tackle-for-loss yardage that year. He looks like a fit for a team that values motor, toughness, and disruptive interior/edge pressure more than pure splashy size or hype.
