Pate Haunga is a disruptive Sacramento State DL who flashes real backfield playmaking
Haunga was a steady presence on Sacramento State’s defensive line in 2024, playing in all 12 games and finishing with 28 tackles and 2 sacks, with his best stretch coming late as he piled up 6 tackles at Cal Poly and 7 against UC Davis. His value is not just volume: he has shown he can win inside enough to get to the quarterback, and he brings clear durability and week-to-week consistency. For a team, that makes him a useful fit as a rotational or matchup-driven interior defender who can help create pressure without needing every play built around him.
