He is a quick twitched interior rusher with a elite first step, heavy hands and can re-direct/track down ball carriers quickly. He was impressive in position drills showing good lateral movement abilities, bend and fluid hips. He understands how to use his leverage against blockers and gets underneath taller offensive lineman while knowing when to counter back inside and can win with both short area twitch and power. UC Davis, Washington State, Air Force, Nevada, Eastern Michigan and SDSU have all offered the '24 prospect this Spring, and others shouldn't be far behind. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["282710"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":849777,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64792f693a2a6"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Greule was a big time defender for one of the top defenses in the state in 2023 as only a sophomore and showed why he is one of the top defensive lineman in his class across the region last month. He is a very technically sound kid with violent hands and explosive out of his stance establishing inside placement quickly and able to violently get off blocks. He is another prospect that offers position versatility either inside or on the edge and depending on how he continues to grow and pack on weight, he could play either at the next level. Greule will once again be one of the top defenders across the vaunted SJS in 2023 and a big part of a loaded Folsom front. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["811150"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64792f693a321"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations":"","_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64792f693a350"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Manu is one of the more impressive prospects across the Western Region, and has elite explosion and twitch off the edge while able to rush from various angles and is violent at the POA. He tested well, excelled during the 1 on 1 session and was one of the more dominant players in a loaded group up front. He has every MWC school after him at this point and it shouldn't be long until more Pac-12 schools come in and offer. He currently holds power five offers from ASU and Washington State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
