Laiatu Latu (ly-AH-too LAH-too; born December 31, 2000) is an American professional football defensive end for the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Washington Huskies and UCLA Bruins, where he was named a unanimous All-American and won the Ted Hendricks and Lombardi Awards with the latter in 2023. Latu was selected by the Colts in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft, the first defensive player taken after 14 straight offensive players.
Early life
Latu was born on December 31, 2000, in Sacramento, California, later attending Jesuit High School. As a junior he earned accolades playing both ways — as a tight end on offense and an outside linebacker on defense, also making significant contributions as a member of Jesuit's special teams. Marauders head coach Marion Blanton characterized Latu as a "solid young man" who was "very coachable." "His motor is always going," Blanton noted.
Latu was named first team All-California after recording 94 total tackles, 29.5 tackles for loss, and six sacks as a senior. Standing 6'5" and weighing 245 pounds as a senior, Latu was rated a four-star recruit and committed to play college football at Washington over offers from UCLA, USC, Oregon, Stanford, and Alabama.
