Motulalo Tafisi brings JUCO-tested physicality and downhill edge to Utah Tech’s linebacker room
Tafisi enters the 2025 season as a junior linebacker at Utah Tech with the kind of experience coaches love: two seasons at New Mexico Military Institute, where he posted 48 total tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss in 17 games, including 18 tackles and 2.5 TFLs in 2024. Utah Tech’s own preview calls him one of the most experienced new outside linebackers on the roster, which matters because he projects as a sturdy, assignment-sound defender who can help stabilize a young room. If your team wants a rugged, ready-now LB with proven JUCO production and no-frills physicality, he’s worth a look.
