If he sticks around for 2020 and has some big games against big time opponents..

I think the potential is definitely there for him to be a 1st rounder, especially if he cleans up this year and next against weaker opponents where I can honestly see him getting a sack and a few TFL’s per game against lesser opponents. That will boost his stock to 1st round numbers for sure.

And yes there is talk about him leaving after this year by Tonga himself.

Tonga's gonna be an all-timer. I can't recall another nose tackle who was this

well, I'd say BYU's best defensive line was in '86 with a 3-4

Definitely our best

As recently as the past 10ish years we've had a few incredible NT/DTs

If he keeps performing at this level, he will hear his name on draft day

I think him being drafted is locked up. At this point, how high is the question.

I really doubt he’ll be a first rounder.

Did you watch the game this week? How about last week? He's steamrolling centers

I know. I doubt he’ll be a first round pick. Maybe I’m wrong.

Definitely has the potential. Just needs to be more consistent.

He’s not consistent. Takes some plays off

9/16/19 8:24pm

This is where you hope Kalani sees this and is actively working with him to

he needs to get a more consistent motor to move into the first 3 rounds of the draft

Just wait till they see Utah’s D-line.

Utah’s water boys and stats geeks are bigger better and faster.

It's super offensive and racist, but usually just toward black people

I get it, this is a sports board and this kind of racial talk can be tiresome

The center gets to go from Tonga to preseason All-American Leki Fotu — both West Valley products

How many stars was Brett Neilon and how many was Tonga?

Agaricus

Tonga's BYU page says ESPN had him at 3 stars. 247 shows 2 stars. Neilon was 4.
