Fonua came to LSU ahead of the 2019 season via the JUCO ranks. He played in 4 games in 2019, but didn’t record any stats. In 2020, he had 7 tackles in 7 games. This past year, he recorded 27 tackles (6.5 for a loss), half a sack and 1 pass breakup.
Where he ends up next remains to be seen. But, without a waiver from the NCAA, he likely won’t be able to play right away at the FBS level.
