UTSA’s defense has a real weapon in ferocious young linebacker Josiah Tauaefa. He's been dropping the jaws of Roadrunner fans from the first game of the season, and has now turned the heads of C-USA viewers across the country after a dominant performance against the Southern Miss Golden Eagles last Saturday.
The redshirt freshman registered 12 tackles in UTSA’s 55-32 rampage over the Western Division favorites, five of which were solo efforts.
His most glorious moment, however, came with four minutes remaining in the contest. Southern Miss quarterback Nick Mullens was driving deep into UTSA territory attempting a late comeback victory.
