The way his Boise State football teammates describe him can be a bit confusing.
Cornerback Avery Williams says nose guard Sonatane Lui is a “big-time monster,” while defensive tackle David Moa contends Lui is a “really cool guy.”
Both are accurate descriptions of the 6-foot-1, 305-pound junior — they’re just in reference to two very different talents.
Lui was chosen as the Broncos’ 2017 defensive line MVP with 18 tackles, including 2.5 for loss and two recovered fumbles. He’s in line to start for a second season and was recently named to the Polynesian Player of the Year watch list.
