<p class="text-gray-700">Stokes is an exceptional athlete with great size and frame. He should be able to get to 220-230 lbs with relative ease. Stokes is an explosive athlete who moves well and has good lateral quickness. He is an excellent EDGE rusher with a good first step, violent hands, and showcases great physicality in his game. Stokes displays his strength by shedding his blocks with ease and throwing his lineman to the side to get by his man. He shows good closing speed and has an exceptional upside. Stokes is a Power-Four athlete who will be recruited as such. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Tafuna has excellent size and should grow into his frame. He's a player who shows great strength and is a physical player. Tafuna is a versatile player who can line up as a Defensive Tackle or an Offensive Lineman. I prefer him on the defensive side of the ball as he showcases a quick first step, good pursuit and a player with great instincts. Tafuna is a player who will be making noise to get varsity snaps this upcoming season and has a bright future ahead of him. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Palmer has great size and an athletic frame for someone near 300 lbs. He is best as a Defensive Tackle and is a player who moves exceptionally well for his size and moves well laterally. Palmer has a good set of moves and is a good interior rusher. He shows good lateral quickness, good burst, and has a frame that will occupy space up the middle and require being double-teamed, which will free up the edge rushers along the line. Palmer is a player who should get recruited regionally. <br></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hargreaves has a great frame and should grow into it with ease. He's a player who projects to get over 6'2 and over 220-230 lbs. Hargreaves is a versatile player who can line up as an Offensive Lineman or a Defensive Tackle. I prefer him on the defensive side as he showcases a great first step and has good quickness, and can show off his physicality. Hargreaves moves well and has a quick burst. He's a good rusher and showcases good drive. Hargreaves will be pushing for varsity reps. Good talent. <br></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Olsen has great size and frame and is a playmaker. He's an athletic EDGE rusher that has good lateral quickness and is a good rusher that moves well overall. Olsen has good closing speed, is strong and has good physicality. He is a player that finds his way to the ball and is an impactful defender. Olsen should get recruited regionally and has good upside as a player to get on the field at the next level. <br></p>
