Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
David Moa
Wins the gap play after play. Fourth year in the Boise State defensive front. The first career honor came in 2016: All-Mountain West. A game that shows it: 6 tackles and 2 tackles for loss against BYU — Week 8, 2019.
Play style
Stout at the point of attack — steady tackle-for-loss production without a standout pass-rush number.

What the box score actually says
37 tackles. 1 pass defended. 0 interceptions. 6.5 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.

There is no official box score for these seasons, so this sack count comes from the play-by-play.
Each sack is credited to the player named on the play, and a sack shared by two players counts as half for each. We checked the same method against the official box scores for 2016 to 2019: it lands within half a sack for about 9 in 10 players. Tackles and passes defended are not shown for these seasons because the same check does not hold for them. Source: SportsDataverse play data.
