Barstow’s tackling machine brings power, production, and playmaking to Sac State
Iosefa Lealofi is a high-motor inside linebacker from Barstow who arrives at Sacramento State after a senior season in 2025 that featured 120 tackles, 26.5 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, an interception, three pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and a recovery. He earned first-team All-Desert Sky League, Victorville Daily Press Football Athlete of the Year, and CIF-Southern Section Division 7 Defensive Player of the Year honors, which tells you the production is real. At 6-foot-0 and around 215 pounds, he profiles as a downhill, disruptive, tone-setting defender who fits a physical defense and looks like a ready-made special-teams hammer.
