Maika Finau brings sturdy, high-motor depth to Lindenwood’s defensive front
Finau is a big-bodied interior lineman who has shown steady production and durability for Lindenwood, playing in 12 games in 2024 and posting 11 tackles with a sack after 11 tackles in 2023. The draw is his combination of mass, effort, and experience: he’s been moved around the roster over time and still carved out a role by staying active, physical, and assignment-sound. For a team seeking a dependable DL rotation piece rather than a splashy pass-rush specialist, he looks like a fit who can absorb blocks, grind snaps, and bring consistent toughness.
