Iyiola Oluwa Solomi is emerging as a real defensive-line building block at Lamar
In the 2025 season, Iyiola Oluwa Solomi played in all 12 games for Lamar, made one start, and finished with 26 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks—solid production for a young interior defender who also earned a redshirt year in 2024. Lamar’s 2026 outlook points to him as a key returnee, with the program noting he has “only improved” and projecting him as one of the few proven pieces up front. If you want a sturdy, developing DL with measurable game experience and ascending buzz, this is a worthwhile add.
