Sione Fua (in the 2013 NFL season)

Biography

American football nose tackle of Tongan descent who played in the NFL for Carolina Panthers (2011–2013), Denver Broncos (2013) and Cleveland Browns (2014). Previously he played three seasons at Stanford University.

Besides football, Fua was also an accomplished wrestler. Competing in the heavyweight division, where he constantly had to keep his weight below the 275-pound (125 kg) maximum, Fua won a CIF State Wrestling Championship as a senior in 2006. He beat fellow Polynesian Romney Fuga of Huntington Beach Edison High School, who himself became a nose tackle at Brigham Young. Fua became the only wrestler from the San Fernando Valley to win a state title.

His younger brother, Alani Fua, played as a linebacker on the Arizona Cardinals. His father, George Fua, of San Mateo, played tight end for Ricks College, San Joaquin Delta College, and Cal State Northridge in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He went undrafted in the 1991 NFL Draft and briefly played professional football in the Arena Football League, with the Sacramento Attack and Miami Hooters.

Since August 2012, Sione Fua has been married to Ivy (née Avanessian) of North Hills, who currently is a graduate of University of California, San Francisco School of Dentistry and a practicing pediatric dentist. They have one son.
