Dave Tolentino
Wins his gap play after play. This is his third year in the same defensive front at Navy. A game that shows it: 3 tackles against South Florida — Week 8, 2019.
Play style
Stout at the point of attack — steady tackle-for-loss production without a standout pass-rush number.

What the box score actually says
12 tackles. 1 pass defended. 0 interceptions. 0.5 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
