Ho Ching is NAU’s tone-setting trench anchor
In the 2025 season, Tausagafou Ho Ching was more than a defensive lineman for Northern Arizona—he was named a team captain and described by the program as a “massive disruptor” who gets targeted and often double-teamed, which is the kind of praise that tells you offenses fear him[3][15]. He checks the boxes teams love: powerful at 6-foot-1, 285 pounds, active, battle-tested, and dependable enough to earn leadership trust; that mix suggests a rugged interior presence who can raise a defense’s physical edge even when the box score stays modest[1][2][8].
