The Colts selected Tuimoloau in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 45th overall.
ANALYSISTuimoloau (6-foot-4, 265 pounds) is a prototypical three-down defensive end who should prove a viable starter in the NFL. For now, the Ohio State product will likely fill a rotational role, because
Kwity Paye and
Laiatu Latu will be tough to displace from the starting lineup anytime soon. If Tuimoloau has to play in a DE3 role for the Colts, then he'll likely prove overqualified after torching his way to 21.5 tackles for loss, including 12.5 sacks, last year.
