Veteran EIU safety with a nose for disruption
Pono Choy has been a reliable, physical presence for Eastern Illinois, and in the 2016 season he started all 11 games at rover/strong safety and finished with 58 tackles, including 30 solo stops, plus a fumble return touchdown and a recorded safety[2][5][9]. His game stands out for versatility, toughness, and knack-for-the-moment plays rather than just box-score accumulation, which makes him the kind of defender who can steady a secondary and bring edge to a team identity[2][9][14].
