Part of Livingston’s breakthrough season, Kodi Gbanite Kodi Gbanite 6'2" | 230 lbs | DL Livingston | 2027 State NJ controls the trenches for the Lancers. Gbanite has an explosive stance and has the potential to generate even more power. As Gbanite learns to come out of his hips better when he comes out of his stance, he will create more power and force doing so. This will help him when locking out and using the long arm.

Livingston was something of a revelation this fall, as they broke into the back into the playoff picture, as Gbanite was one of two lineman who set them up for success in the trenches. As a 4i, he shows a great burst in his first two steps, making him too quick and explosive for offensive tackles to gap-hinge backside. At his best, Gbanite moves his feet much more quickly than that of his offensive matchup, allowing him to beat them to his spot. I feel as though Gbanite plays with strong pad level, which allows him to win more times than not due to leverage.
