SALT LAKE CITY – Utah football boasts one of, if not the best, offensive lines in college football, and massive left guard Tanoa Togiai is an instrumental cog in the machine.
Togiai is the next player named in the 2025 KSL Sports Zone Hans & Scotty G. 60 in 60 watchlist.
“Tanoa Togiai has gotten better and better since he’s gotten in the program,” head coach Kyle Whittingham said. “He settled in at the left guard position. (Has) great size at 6’6, 330 pounds, and very athletic.”
Togiai played 11 games in 2024, starting 10, before a knee injury ended his season prematurely.

Utah G Tanoa Togiai is someone that I haven’t seen on anyone’s radar, but he definitely should be. Great length and plus athleticism. The technique needs work, but the tools are absolutely there. #Utes pic.twitter.com/KDJem860zc
