Beehive Buzz: Live Look- West JV

I've outlined that West has started their two-to-three-year window for a state title if they can keep their core intact. But what do they have coming up in their pipeline? I dug in and found out. Now, here are some key names to know for the future. The game I attended was West JV vs American Fork Soph team.    Sione has good size and will play inside or outside. He has the physicality and play strength to play the defensive tackle spot, while being quick and explosive off the line and having good hip bend to play the EDGE. He won the majority of his snaps on the evening. With his explosive first step, he gained the advantage and used a combination of a bull rush and being light on his feet and being too quick, will use speed rushes to win. He has a good lateral burst, is too quick for most lineman and uses his skillset to get his lineman off balanced and will then use his violent hands to finish off his blocker. He moves exceptionally well and is a disruptor, he will be a Power-Four recruit and starter, he is an excellent propsect and he has a tremendous ceiling.     Naeata was the best offensive player on the field. He showcases great size for the position and has good vision and sees the lanes develop before they fully form. He does well in getting small through the first level and uses his vision to find cutback lanes.

He's a bruising back with a good lower half and is a bell cow back. He is a three-down back who has soft hands and is a natural hands catcher. There is plenty to like with him, and he projects as a D1 prospect and should get recruited by G5 teams with the upside of bigger and better programs. He was quite impressive.
