2024 Rankings Newcomers: DL

<em>Breaking down the new additions to PRZ's latest 2024 CA Rankings at the DL position; a list highlighted by raw prospects with high upside and potential for breakout seasons in the fall. </em> <b>[player_tooltip player_id="273577" first="Ratumana" last="Bulabalavu"]- DL, Army Navy</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Bulabalavu showed raw potential as a game-wrecker on the front seven in his sophomore season. He holds good size and athleticism at 6’3”/250 with ability to line up as a 3-tech or outside shade DE. He wins 1-on-1 pass rush with an explosive first step and possesses the power/strength to move blockers off the ball. He moves well in pursuit and shows relentless motor. Bulabalavu will be a name to watch next season as he continues to develop. </span> <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2GKeJ8">Sophomore Highlights</a> <b>[player_tooltip player_id="273593" first="Javonnie" last="Haymon"]- DL, Edison – Stockton</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Haymon is a playmaking DL with an athletic frame at 6’1”/235. He explodes out of his stance and delivers a strong punch off the LOS. He plays violent with his hands and is quick to diagnose run/pass. He has the strength to neutralize blocks and plug gaps in the run game. Haymon has great potential to be a breakout prospect that could pick up multiple offers during his junior season.</span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Check out this highlight!

He’s a disruptive player up front that uses violent hands to shed blocks and is quick to locate ball-carriers in the backfield. He maintains low pad level and leverage getting into his first step. He’s light on his feet and shows short-area burst in pursuit. Poyer’s joined by two brothers AJ (‘22) and Caleb (‘23) who were All-Southwestern DPOY and 1st Team Defense selections respectively.</span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Varsity football highlights at Vista Murrieta High School l Sophomore<a href="https://twitter.com/vmhsfootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@vmhsfootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_EdOrgeron?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_EdOrgeron</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachRobSnyder?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachRobSnyder</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachPowledge?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachPowledge</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachBrianKelly?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachBrianKelly</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/AntonioPierce?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AntonioPierce</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachJim4UM?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachJim4UM</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/HermEdwards?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@HermEdwards</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachJsalavea?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachJsalavea</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachJFrye?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachJFrye</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachMikeElston?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachMikeElston</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/coachfredy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coachfredy</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachMikeTress?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachMikeTress</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachSpanos?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachSpanos</a> <a href="https://t.co/aaMTaKpIXG">pic.twitter.com/aaMTaKpIXG</a></p> — Andrew.Poyer🇦🇸 (@andrew_poyer) <a href="https://twitter.com/andrew_poyer/status/1471727853381120000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 17, 2021</a></blockquote> <a href="http://blockquote%20class=twitter-tweetp%20lang=en%20dir=ltrVarsity%20football%20highlights%20at%20Vista%20Murrieta%20High%20School%20l%20Sophomorea%20href=https://twitter.com/vmhsfootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@vmhsfootball/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/Coach_EdOrgeron?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@Coach_EdOrgeron/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachRobSnyder?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachRobSnyder/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachPowledge?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachPowledge/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachBrianKelly?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachBrianKelly/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/AntonioPierce?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@AntonioPierce/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachJim4UM?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachJim4UM/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/HermEdwards?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@HermEdwards/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachJsalavea?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachJsalavea/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachJFrye?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachJFrye/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachMikeElston?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachMikeElston/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/coachfredy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@coachfredy/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachMikeTress?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachMikeTress/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachSpanos?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachSpanos/a%20a%20href=https://t.co/aaMTaKpIXGpic.twitter.com/aaMTaKpIXG/a/p—%20Andrew.Poyer🇦🇸%20(@andrew_poyer)%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/andrew_poyer/status/1471727853381120000?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwDecember%2017,%202021/a/blockquote%20script%20async%20src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js%20charset=utf-8/script"><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></a> <b>[player_tooltip player_id="273620" first="Lolani" last="Finau"]- DL, Hawthorne</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Finau is athletic for his size at 6’3”/245 playing TE/OT in addition to his listed DL position.
