AJ Koukou brings disruptive upside to Villanova’s interior line
In the 2025 season, AJ Koukou flashed as a rotational Villanova defensive lineman, finishing with 4 total tackles, 1 sack and 1 forced fumble, and a 2026 preview noted he should earn more snaps after a healthy offseason. Coaches and team coverage point to good football instincts, a sturdy 6-foot-1, 285-pound frame, and a blue-collar, battle-for-every-yard style that fits well in a physical front. He looks like a smart fit for a team needing interior toughness, penetration, and reliable depth with upside.
