Ben Tameifuna brings compact, disruptive freshman juice to EWU’s defensive line
In the 2026 season, Ben Tameifuna is a freshman defensive tackle at Eastern Washington listed at 5-foot-11 and 302 pounds, with a frame that screams leverage, power, and early-down run-stopping upside. His high school résumé shows real production — 100 total tackles, 1.5 sacks, 2.0 tackles for loss, and eight quarterback hurries in 31 games — plus a winning pedigree from four straight league titles. He looks like a sturdy interior piece who can eat space, anchor against the run, and develop into a disruptive Big Sky trench player.
