Former Utah State depth piece with a rugged, high-motor profile
LaValle entered Utah State as a three-star linebacker recruit in 2019 and was listed at 5-foot-11, 240 pounds as a defensive tackle, but his publicly available college stat line shows only limited game action and no major production in his early career. His value proposition is the old-school one: compact frame, physicality, and the kind of effort and versatility coaches often like in a rotational defensive lineman. If you need a proven, top-line disruptor, the résumé is thin; if you want an energetic, developmental trench body with some recruiting pedigree, he fits the bill.
