Continue ReadingHunte is an interior lineman on one of the most fear defenses in the state at Quince Orchard. Donovan does a good job at setting the line of scrimmage and holding his ground at the snap of the ball. He shoots his hands and uses his eyes to track down the ball. In pursuit he is very quick and shows some eye raising spurts of athleticism.
This first team all-county linemen shows brute strength and aggression behind his 315lb frame. Kofi man handles his opponents on both sides of the ball but his skill set is great for his DT position. Offensively he excels at run blocking using his physical tendencies to his advantage. Kofi at center at 6’2 315 would be a site to see, but for now keep an eye on him to cause havoc in backfields this upcoming 2023-24 season.

He fires off the ball using his speed and length alone to beat opposing tackles, he stays true to his assignments, and does a good job of reading and recognizing the play. his quick first step allows him to crash down inside the tackles and propel himself into the backfield. He does a good job of creating a bracket and containing the play while protecting his edge, he is there for clean up if his teammates miss a tackle in the back field and he always trails the paly instead of pursuing from the top down. He shows some awareness in his pass rushing as he racked up a handful of swatted passes this past season.
Idoma is in a great position, playing alongside one of the states top 15 defensive linemen. This will give Idoma opportunities to capitalize on the focus his teammate requires. Idoma plays with a clear intensity and is relentless in his pursuit of the ball. He’s made himself at home in the teeth of the defense, he is no stranger to the battles in the trenches. Idoma fights through blocks, tosses them aside and makes his way to the ball carrier through the bodies and battles in the box.
