UTSA’s old-school linebacker with Pro Day buzz and a tackle-hunting résumé
Tauaefa carved out a reputation at UTSA as a relentless, physical linebacker who piled up 257 career tackles, ranking second in school history, and led the Roadrunners in 2018 with 113 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks. He was also a Freshman All-American and a preseason all-conference pick, which tells you the production matched the pedigree. The fit question is easy: if a team wants a downhill, high-motor defender who attacks ball carriers and shows up in big moments, Tauaefa is the kind of tone-setter worth a hard look.
