Khalil Laufau brings disruptive interior pass rush to Houston

Laufau looks like a **scheme-friendly, high-upside interior DL** for Houston: in the 2024 season at Washington State, he logged **16 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, and 4 sacks** in 10 games, then entered Houston after earning a reputation as a sturdy 6-3, 293-pound tackle with real backfield disruption. His differentiators are his ability to collapse pockets from inside, plus a verified run-game grade and production that suggest he’s more than just a splash-play defender. He’s a good fit for a defense that values interior pressure, play strength, and a lineman who can tilt game plans.
