Analysis

Strengths: Tauaefa became a fan-favorite at UTSA thanks to his natural comfort on the field, high motor, and, well, his hair. Overlooked as a high school athlete, Tauaefa made the transition from an undersized defensive end to an instant Freshman All-American linebacker after a redshirt season at UTSA.
