T.J. Fatinikun was a disruptive, high-effort Toledo edge rusher with real playmaking juice
In the 2010 season, T.J. Fatinikun earned MAC West Defensive Player of the Week honors after a 5-tackle, 2.5-TFL, 1-sack outing against Kent State, and Toledo’s roster bio credits him with 73 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and 10 sacks as a sophomore—nice little résumé for a DE who played with production and pop. His standout traits were backfield disruption, forced-fumble ability, and strong academic discipline, as he also earned Academic All-MAC recognition with a 3.41 GPA. If your team wants a tough, productive edge defender who can wreck blocking schemes and bring steady motor, he fits the bill.
