Cal’s massive nose guard brings size, leverage, and old-school trench value
Siulagisipai Fuimaono is a 6-4, 320-pound nose guard for Cal whose calling card is obvious: he can clog the middle and make life miserable for inside run games[1]. In Cal’s 2018 season, he appeared in 12 games and logged eight tackles, one fumble recovery, and one pass breakup, which shows a role built on disruption more than splashy stats[1][4]. He also earned Pac-12 All-Academic honorable mention, and earlier profile notes praise his efficient, detail-oriented approach—useful clues that he’s the kind of player coaches trust in the room and on the field[9][11].
