Tristan Souza brings steady, physical depth to Buffalo’s defensive front
In the 2025 season, Tristan Souza appeared in 10 games for Buffalo as a reserve defensive tackle and posted 3 tackles with 1 tackle for loss, following a 2024 season in which he made 10 tackles, including 1 TFL, plus 1 fumble recovery.[2][1] His value is more trench-work than highlight-reel: a transfer from Washington State, an Academic All-MAC selection, and a dependable rotational body who has been available across multiple games and kept the interior honest.[2][11] If a team wants a tough, experienced DT who understands his role and won’t need the spotlight, Souza fits the bill.
