At linebacker, he uses his sideline-to-sideline quickness to chase down and take down skill players. He also impresses with exceptional strength, allowing him to wrestle down tight ends. Speaking of tight ends on the offensive side, Kuntz can open up rushing lanes or make plays over the middle of the field. He works well with offensive linemen on double teams but can also move defensive ends one on one to open holes. Kuntz is an elite player and will be no matter where he lines up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212440' first='Aisa' last='Galea'i'] || ATH || 6'0 || 170 || Timpview High School || 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Galea'i' is an exceptional athlete who can dominate his opponent every Friday night.

Arona possesses great touch and does a great job avoiding pressure while navigating the pocket. He has a great frame he uses to break out of sacks and shake off tacklers in the open field. Arona has good footwork and can deliver balls in the tightest of windows. He possesses a powerful arm and can deliver downfield strikes if he's got a man open. Arona will be a problem for any team he faces for the next three years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='284202' first='Roman' last='Funk'] || ATH || 6'1 || 165 || Mountain Crest High School || 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Funk flies around the field, making plays. At receiver, he's extremely hard to bring down after the catch with his shiftiness and speed, making him one of the state's toughest tackles. His ability to make defenders miss in the open field is elite, and he can be a great chess piece for any offensive coordinator. Funk is also a dynamic defensive back who possesses excellent latter movement. He's got good hips and great ball skills.
