Leki Fotu | Utah

Height: 6-5          Weight: 330

Fotu saw action in five games as a reserve true freshman and made one tackle. He started two of 13 games in 2017 and contributed 22 tackles, 3.5 for loss. As a junior, everything finally came together. With 33 tackles, 5.5 for loss, and three sacks in 14 games, he earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors. In his senior campaign, Fotu repeated that first-team designation and also earned third-team Associated Press All-American recognition.

At Utah, Fotu’s solo tackles matched his assists at 41, 17 of which were for a loss. He had three passes defensed and three forced fumbles.

When faced with true 1-on-1 blocking or classic double-teams, Fotu dominates but is raw from an instinct perspective.
