02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Defensive back in a two-high safety system that leverages aggressive down-safety play, such as a hybrid Cover 2/4 scheme or a Tampa 2 variant.

Boundary safetyBox safetyDime linebacker
Best role

Year 1 special teams ace with hybrid safety/linebacker potential, with a ceiling as a reliable starting strong safety in a two-safety system.

Wrong fit

Single-high safety schemes that require extensive deep-field coverage.

Luani's physical, downhill play style and run support make him best suited for systems that can maximize his strength near the line of scrimmage while mitigating his deep coverage limitations.
