Ace Kaufusi brings BYU downhill pop, depth value, and real rotation upside
In the 2025 season, Isaiah “Ace” Kaufusi played in 13 games for BYU and logged 15 tackles, 2 pass breakups, and 3 quarterback hurries, showing the kind of disruptive, assignment-sound depth every good defense wants. He’s a physical linebacker with BYU pedigree, steady special-teams value, and enough burst to pressure quarterbacks when given clean looks. The differentiator: he’s not just filler behind the starters; he’s a useful rotational piece who can survive the grind of a long season. If your team needs toughness, football IQ, and a low-drama connector, he fits.
