2024: Game Changers Up Front

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These four players do a great job opening up rushing lanes and providing quarterbacks with ample time to make plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='406969' first='Semisi' last='Tonga'] || OL || 6'4 || 310 || West High School || 2024 </strong><br>Tonga is a tenacious run blocker who can toss defensive linemen out of the way. He possesses excellent strength and explodes off the ball to meet defenders with a physical first punch. Tonga does a good job blocking down where he can move defensive lineman out of the way to open up rushing lanes. He is an exceptional athlete who can destroy defensive backs in the open field. Tonga does a good job getting out in space and takes good angles when looking to clean up linebackers and cornerbacks. He's also strong in pass protection, where he does not allow pass rushers to bull rush him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='406976' first='Siosaia' last='Lapuaho'] || OL || 6'4 || 300 || Alta High School || 2024</strong><br>Lapuaho does a great job keeping his hands inside to drive defensive linemen off the ball. He wins with great leg drive and doesn't quit until after the whistle. Lapuaho also does a good job working up to the second level, and he doesn't let linebackers slip past them. His footwork is outstanding, and once he gets his hands locked on defenders, they have a hard time breaking free. In pass protection, he keeps a great base and does a good job cutting off defenders with his feet. In addition, Lapuaho has long arms and uses them to keep defensive linemen outside the pocket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='406981' first='Moala' last='Molisi'] || OL || 6'4 || 250 || Highland High School || 2024 </strong><br>Molisi was a force for the Rams up front. He's an exceptional puller who keeps a tight path to the line and stays low while on the move. Molisi hits like a truck while pulling and does a good job finding his intended target through all the chaos that ensues in the front seven. He gives his all every rep, and even if he gets beat off the snap can fight back and pancake defenders in one play. Molisi can also sit defenders down in pass protection, where his powerful first punch disoriented defenders. He also does a great job picking up blitzes and handles twists well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='406985' first='Corbin' last='Workman'] || OL || 6'7 || 340 || Pine View High School || 2024</strong><br>Workman has one of the best physical profiles in the class of 2024. Few players can match his strength and arm length. Workman can wash defenders down the line and create pile-ups in the middle of the field. He can crush unsuspecting defensive linemen when pulling and does not allow defenders to push him back into the quarterback's lap. Workman is like a brick wall in past protection, not letting anyone get past him. He also does a good job picking up blitzes and can stop rushers dead in their tracks with his strength. Workman could be in for a big 2024 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
