Tai Newhouse brings veteran size, stout run defense, and academic steadiness to Tulsa’s interior line
In the 2025 season, Tai Newhouse was a steady, physical presence for Tulsa, finishing with 39 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and 0.5 sacks while playing a big role on the interior at 6-foot-3, 320 pounds. He’s the kind of DL who eats blocks, holds up against the run, and gives a defense some grown-man heft inside. Add in two-time academic all-conference recognition and a redshirt-senior profile, and you get a dependable, high-floor fit for a team needing toughness, discipline, and trench depth.
