Film room: Tonka Hemingway brings athletic power to Raiders’ defense

Matt Holder is a life-long Raiders fan who has been writing about the team since 2017. He has been at Silver and Black Pride since 2021. He graduated from the Scouting Academy and worked in recruiting at the college level.

The Las Vegas Raiders were looking to add depth to their defensive line during the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, selecting South Carolina’s Tonka Hemingway.

At nearly 6-foot-3 and 285 pounds, Hemingway has a bit of a tweener body type but has some versatility to contribute at either defensive end or tackle.
