the tough, physical Weber State mauler who earned his respect fast
In the 2011 season, Tevia Tolutau broke in as a freshman fullback for Weber State and immediately stood out for his physicality, earning First-Team All-Big Sky honors as the only freshman on the first or second team. Coaches praised him as a tough, surprise-impact player who could “knock people out of the hole,” which points to a violent blocking style and a high-intensity edge that doesn’t always show up in box scores. He also added special-teams value and flashed enough versatility to be more than a one-note blocker.
