Durable, Disruptive, and Now on the Oregon State Staff
In the 2024 season, Semisi Saluni was one of Oregon State’s steadiest front-seven pieces, playing all 12 games and posting 34 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, one sack, three quarterback hurries, and two pass breakups. He’s a 6-foot-3, 291-pound interior defender who brought weekly reliability, physicality, and enough versatility to shift from linebacker roots into a DL role. That kind of toughness plus experience matters if you want an assignment-sound, high-motor plugger who’s already transitioned into a defensive graduate assistant role in 2025-26—basically, football IQ with trench grit.
