Ratumana Bulabalavu Ratumana Bulabalavu 6'3" | 250 lbs | DL Army Navy | 2024 State CA – DL, Army Navy
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.
Javonnie Haymon Javonnie Haymon 6'1" | 235 lbs | DL Edison - Stockton | 2024 State CA – DL, Edison – Stockton
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.

Andrew Poyer Andrew Poyer 6'1" | 275 lbs | DL Vista Murrieta | 2024 CA – DL, Vista Murrieta
Poyer is a stout, physical interior DL at 6’1”/245. 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.

Lolani Finau Lolani Finau 6'3" | 260 lbs | DL Leuzinger | 2024 State CA – DL, Hawthorne
Finau is athletic for his size at 6’3”/245 playing TE/OT in addition to his listed DL position. He utilizes his long reach to shed blocks and is physical at the POA. Finau’s combination of size and athleticism presents raw upside for this developing prospect.
