WATCH: Missouri State defensive lineman goes viral for beast-mode kickoff return
Missouri State came within a touchdown of pulling a gigantic upset over Oklahoma State last weekend. While they defeated Central Arkansas for their first victory last night, the best moment of the game came on a play that went for negative yards.
When Missouri State defensive lineman Siale Suliafu received a pooch kick late in the game, he looked to pull an all-timer. Even though it wasn’t a ridiculous touchdown run, the play was still memorable.
Watch as the 6-foot, 295-pound defensive lineman swats defenders off of him like flies. Suliafu took on all challengers, like Thanos standing in a field of debris in Avengers: Endgame.
It was something straight out of WWE’s Royal Rumble event, Suliafu looked like the Big Show as every superstar attempts to eliminate him. Unfortunately, Sulaifu fell victim to the referees whistle — something you don’t have to worry about during the Royal Rumble.
Even prior to the contingent of Arkansas State defenders swarming him, the Missouri State defensive lineman showed off cat-like quickness. After fielding the kick, Suliafu did his best to hurdle a defender before he was jumped like prey for hyenas.

Earlier in the game, Suliafu got involved on the offensive side of the ball for Missouri State. He set up the first touchdown of the game, taking snaps at fullback and leading running back Tobias Little to find pay-dirt. Evidently, he’s a contributor in all phases of the game.
Moreover, Suliafu is a freshman for the Missouri State Bears. As he continues to improve, perhaps he’ll get another chance at returning kicks after watching the display he put on last night.
Prior to committing to Missouri State, Suliafu held offers from Tennessee, UT Martin and Morgan State. Afterwards, he may have offers from WWE, All Elite Wrestling, New Japan Pro Wrestling and just about everywhere in-between.
