The younger brother of NFL pass rusher Laiatu Latu, Keleki Latu is a 6-foot-7 tight end who found his footing at a third college before breaking into Buffalo's lineup as a rookie.
Keleki Latu's path to the NFL wound through three schools in four years before he settled at Washington for his final college season. The Sacramento native and younger brother of Colts edge rusher Laiatu Latu signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent and worked his way onto the active roster late in his rookie year.
Path to the league
Latu played two seasons at Cal before transferring to Nevada, where a fractured fibula cut his 2023 season short after 14 catches for 179 yards. He finished his college career at Washington in 2024, catching a career-high 40 passes for 371 yards and a touchdown, and earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors before going undrafted in 2025.
Career highlights
At 6-foot-7, Latu profiles as a big target who developed steadily across three programs, culminating in his best statistical season at Washington. He signed with Buffalo as an undrafted free agent in 2025 and worked his way up from the practice squad during the season.
2025 season recap
Latu was elevated from Buffalo's practice squad for a Week 11 game against Tampa Bay and was later signed to the active roster on December 27, 2025. He finished his rookie season with 4 receptions for 35 yards as a depth piece in the Bills' tight end room.
