<p class="text-gray-700">Fano has a good frame to grow into and should get to 220-230 lbs with ease. He displays a quick first step and showcases good agility and overall quickness. Fano has an array of moves at his disposal that he is effective with. He has a bull rush, a spin and swim move that he can mix and match to get his lineman off-balanced. Fano shows good power and physicality to his game and presents with active, violent hands, and knows how to finish off a rush. The athletic EDGE rusher possesses good footwork and has great lateral quickness, and has all the tools in his arsenal to become a high-end rusher who should get Power-Four offers and contribute at that level. Huge upside. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lautaha has exceptional size and his frame should allow him to get to 280 lbs. He is a versatile player who can be a defensive or offensive lineman. Lautaha showcases good suddenness and violent hands. He is light on his foot and showcases good athleticism. Lautaha moves well laterally and has good speed. I prefer him as an interior rusher who can develop into a run-stuffing defensive tackle and occupies double teams. Lautaha has great upside and has the makings of a Power-Four recruit.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Pearce has a good frame and size. He's a player who can continue to bulk up, but showcases good strength as is. He is a good rusher who can play inside and outside. That versatility allows him to be a mismatch anywhere he lines up. As an EDGE rusher, he shows a good first step, with quick, violent hands, and showcases a good bend and closing speed to get around the edge to the ball carrier. As an interior rusher, he showcases good power and easily sheds his blockers, and he has the strength to toss his lineman to the side. Pearce is an active rusher with good pursuit and is a player who should get regionally recruited. <br></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Montgomery has a good frame and should continue to fill out and get bigger to take on heavier linemen. He is a versatile player who can play multiple positions along the defensive line. Montgomery is a good rusher and showcases good physicality in his game, and his strength translates to him being able to easily shed blockers and double teams. He moves well and has good lateral quickness. Montgomery shows good pursuit and closing speed. Overall, he has a chance to take on a bigger role for the upcoming season, and if he continues to fill out his frame, he should have a fantastic final year.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Haynes is a hybrid player who is best as an EDGE rusher. He should be able to add an extra 10 lbs with ease. Haynes showcases good speed and instincts for the position. Hs is a good rusher with athletic traits that will work. Haynes has quickness and moves well with good bend and pursuit. He is best as a downhill rusher and can easily shed his blocks. </p>
