Yale DL Nathan Puletasi brings size and roster versatility
Nathan Puletasi is a long, physical Yale defensive lineman who entered the program as a 6-foot-3, 265-pound recruit and has since been listed at 280 pounds, giving him the frame to hold the point and absorb contact inside[2][3]. Yale’s 2021 statistics show he appeared in 2 games and recorded 1.0 tackle for loss, a small sample that still hints at disruptive upside when he’s on the field[4]. His value is less about flash and more about leverage, mass, and interior toughness—traits that can fit a defense looking for a dependable trench player with development upside[2][3].
