He is a very snappy 3-tech that can bounce around the interior of the defensive line and offers good position versatility. He is a very technically sound player with a heavy strike, quick lock out and plays violent with his hands against the run. When pass rushing, he is quick off the ball/shows natural band and has an extremely quick use of hands at the point of attack while able to work both primary and secondary rush moves while also flashing closing speed when chasing down plays backside. He has 21 FBS offers currently and is one of the top uncommitted prospects on the western region. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1338359"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669ee2bcbcacb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">James has had a very productive off-season and is a key piece in this loaded Serra team heading into the Fall with power five guys at almost every position. He is another twitchy interior pass rusher that operates along the defensive line with position versatility and is very smooth and athletic for his size. James is a technically sound player that is explosive in the short area, shows good power rush moves and can win with both speed and power at the POA. Very deserving to enter into our rankings, he's another prospect within California that remains uncommitted and holds offers from Arizona, Nevada, Northern Arizona, San Jose State and SDSU. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1338410"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669ee2bcbcb09"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Westfall can play both inside or outside it has a very strong build with a longer frame that can continue to pack on more weight throughout his college career. He's a heavy hand setter that chokes out blockers and plays with a low hat and is athletic enough to two-gap or take on double teams with ease. He currently has 10 offers and is a high academic kid that also remains uncommitted. Checking into our rankings as a top 35 prospect at his position with the state, he is poised for a huge Senior year and one of the best players the San Diego area has to offer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669ee2bcbcb9a"} /-->
