Laiatu Latu: Breaking News

Carer-high 8.5 sacks in 2025

Latu recorded 45 tackles (27 solo), including 8.5 sacks, five pass breakups, including three interceptions, and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games in 2025. Latu was the 15th overall pick in the 2024 Draft and started just one of 17 games in which he appeared as a rookie, finishing 12th in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting after producing 4.0 sacks. Latu, however, became a full-time starter this season, starting all 16 games he played in, seeing the field on 68 percent of the Colts' defensive snaps. The 25-year-old will be back next season to help key Indianapolis' pass rush.

Defensive star in loss

Latu had three total tackles, a sack and three tackles for a loss in Sunday's loss at Seattle. Latu now has a career-high 6.5 sacks. He also had three stops, according to Pro Football Focus, as he was effective against the run as well.

Has INT and sack in loss

Latu had six total tackles, a sack, two QB hits and an interception in Sunday's loss at Kansas City. Latu continues to improve as the season progresses as he has five sacks over his last five games. He's played on 84% or more of the defense's snaps the last three games with DeFortest Buckner sidelined with a neck injury.
