, displays an outstanding build for an EDGE rusher. The Orchard Park prospect also plays on the offensive line.
Meka Jr has good body control, along with great hands. He understands leverage and uses it at the POA. He showcased reps at Tackle, but TE might be a position the Orchard Park prospect can thrive at given his frame. He has good pass rushing moves and can reach the backfield and cause disruption with ease.
He is one of the top defensive players in WNY and certainly poised to have a monster season in Section Six this year. Not to mention he is only a Junior.

Meka has a monster frame and is incredibly agile for a player that size. Defensively, he is a menace as a DE with long arms and hits with tenacity. Offensively, he played some LT last season with great success but i can see a future for him as a TE.

Physical force coming off the edge, standing at 6’6” and weighing 240 pounds! He loves to set the edge and stop the run for his defense. The pure strength and pursuit at the POA were huge points of emphasis when watching Meka Jr. operate on the defensive line. In short, this is a DE that is not afraid to get aggressive and attack after the ball carrier. Whenever he comes off the line, he does a great job of using his hands to his advantage to separate off his block to make a tackle.
