John Hardy-Tuliau was a takeaway machine and special-teams disruptor at Hawaii
In the 2013 season, John Hardy-Tuliau stood out as a versatile Hawaii defensive back whose game tilted on instincts, ball skills, and impact plays: he earned honorable mention All-Mountain West recognition, had 239 career tackles, 6 interceptions, 6 forced fumbles, 29 passes defended, and 7 blocked kicks, with 3 blocks returned for touchdowns.[3][5] His biggest differentiators were playmaking and fearlessness around the line of scrimmage—he even tied for the team lead in interceptions and passes defended in 2011 and delivered a breakout performance with 2 picks and 2 PBUs in a single game in 2012.[3][9]
