Teair Tart’s college and professional career

 Teair Tart’s football journey began at ASA College in New York, but it wasn’t a smooth start. He posted five sacks in six appearances before taking a break to mourn the death of his older brother, who died in a tragic bike accident. After that, he made a short stop at Valley Forge Military Academy before a mid-semester transfer to East Mississippi Community College.

However, it was the FIU Panthers football programme that served as a sound foundation for his career. It was his first time taking on the starting role in college football. In his first season with the Panthers, he left a lasting impression with 19 tackles, seven tackles for loss, four sacks, a forced fumble, and a pass breakup. Tart followed that up with an even better year, producing 32 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and another forced fumble.

His performance caught the Titans’ attention, and they signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2020. His performance peaked in his third year with the Titans, when he recorded 20 solo tackles and 1.5 sacks. Tart has been consistent since then and posted one of his best seasons this year with 32 tackles in 17 games. In January 2026, he secured his future in Los Angeles with a three-year contract extension.
