Hawaii’s dependable, captain-level LB with real tackle volume
Avila looks like a **steady, high-floor linebacker** rather than a flashy stat-chaser: he started all 13 games in 2025, made **79 tackles**, and was a **two-time team captain** in 2024 and 2025, which points to trust, consistency, and leadership[1]. For a team, that profile matters because he brings durability, communication, and a proven every-down presence; the main fit question is whether you want a reliable tone-setter who anchors the defense more than a pure splash-play creator[1].
