Across his three URC appearances as a replacement, Tizzano's output is defined overwhelmingly by his defensive work, averaging close to three tackles per game and reaching five in his best outing. His carrying is minimal and largely incidental, suggesting his primary function when introduced is to shore up the defensive line rather than carry ball. The consistency of his tackle numbers relative to his limited minutes points to a player who hits the ground running defensively whenever called upon.
