Stock Risers in the Trenches: Norcal's Top Offer Now Linemen

Lavoie has the prototypical body type and length for the FBS level, and has been flying under the radar up to this point. He is a violent striker that has great technique across the line and is a high motor kid that is always around the ball. He does a good job using his length to keep blockers away from his chest, quickly sheds blocks and has a quick IQ and block recognition abilities in the run game. In pass rush situations, he has a variety of power rush moves in his toolbox and wins with initial power and some twitch while showing excellent backside pursuit. Lavoie offers good position versatility either inside or on the edge, but could find his home as a plus length defensive tackle in college.     Lyles is going to really blow up onto the scene next off-season, and has quickly impressed at camps this summer against top competition. He is another prospect that has elite length for the tackle position, a huge wingspan and is very athletic for his size and is a smooth mover in space. He is a natural bender that snaps out of his stance, gets immediate vertical push and shows some finish downfield and will only continue to grow and develop into an elite tackle prospect. He has been offered by Washington State and New Mexico and should see plenty of other FBS offers come in next off-season and be one of the top tackles on the board.     The Chico product is perhaps the top player in the northern section no one seems to know about. He is extremely powerful and violent at the POA, can eat up blocks without giving up ground and has good twitch and lateral movement especially for his size. He shows he can win with both speed and power, plays with leverage and has a heavy inside strike while able to counter back inside when needed and is a very effective rusher from the interior or the edge. He should wind up in the Big Sky by the time signing day comes up, and is looking to have a huge Senior year that should play him into getting some offers through the Fall.     Finau is one of the top two-way guys in the trenches across the Bay Area and is twitched up for his size with great feet, body control and balance when rushing the passer. He shows a explosive first step get off, gets hands inside immediately and shows a quick use of hands at the POA when turning the corner and collapsing the pocket. He shows he can redirect quickly, reset the line and violently get off blocks while always looking to swat the ball if he cannot get home. He is a very impressive athlete that should find his home at a defensive tackle anywhere from the 1-4i tech in college and is looking to be a late steal.     Manning pulled in an offer from NAIA Carroll College and has the ideal length and frame for the defensive end position in college. He is strong at the point, does a nice job setting the edge and denting pullers and is very technically sound against the run. He is still a raw and developing prospect overall but holds tons of upside due to his size, movement ability and snap out of his stance. Manning should be one of the top edge rushers across the NCS this year and be a big part of this loaded Pittsburg front coming this Fall.
