Uani Unga was a tackle machine at BYU
Uani Unga made his name as a high-volume, high-impact BYU linebacker, leading the nation with 143 tackles in the 2013 season and finishing his BYU career with 171 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, and a reputation for relentless motor and captain-level toughness.[1][7] He wasn’t just piling up numbers—BYU credited him as a major piece of a defense that ranked No. 3 nationally in total defense in 2012, which is the kind of context that screams “plug-and-play enforcer.”[1]
