Hawaii’s rangy, high-motor linebacker turned proven NFL tone-setter
Jahlani Tavai earned his Hawaii reputation as a durable, instinctive linebacker with serious production: in the 2016 season, he led the Rainbow Warriors and ranked among Mountain West leaders with 129 tackles, and in the 2017 season he again flashed as a disruptive all-around defender with all-conference recognition. His calling card is range, toughness, and work rate—he’s the kind of defender who shows up downhill, closes fast, and keeps going. If your team wants a physical, experienced, no-drama linebacker who can anchor the middle and play with edge, Tavai is an easy fit.
