<p>Quintana is an outstanding blitzer. He does a great job disguising his rushes, and once the ball is snapped zooms past offensive linemen to break into the backfilled. Quintana has a motor that won't quit when pursuing quarterbacks, and once he gets a hand on them is more than capable of wrestling them to the ground. Quintana can crush quarterbacks if offensive linemen fail to get a hand on him. He fearlessly fills gaps and is a strong tackler. Quintana does a good job getting around blockers in the run game and makes plenty of plays behind the line of scrimmage. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='875588' first='Waki' last='Fulilangi'] || DL || 6'2 || 255 || American Fork High School || 2024 </strong></p>

<p>Fulilangi can play any alignment needed along the front four. His size and strength help him to win his one-on-one matchup consistently. Fulilangi does a great job setting the edge, and he can toss offensive linemen aside to make plays on running backs. He's an elite athlete with a quick first step. Fulilangi does an excellent job taking advantage of offensive linemen who overextend themselves. Once he feels his blocker leaning too far forward, Fulilangi hits them with a potent push-pull move. He's got quick hands he uses to defeat offensive linemen's initial punch. He moves well laterally when battling interior offensive linemen for position. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='875589' first='Tytan' last='Willis'] || LB || 5'10 || 185 || Morgan High School || 2024 </strong></p>

<p>Willis is a team-first player who constantly puts his body on the line for the betterment of his team. He has true sideline-to-sideline speed that helps him make play after play. Willis takes good angles when closing in on ball carriers and makes his presence felt on each tackle. He does a good job wrapping up and makes sure to go low when trying to bring down bigger backs. He does a great job locking down the middle of the field in zone coverage. Willis consistently hustles to the ball, allowing him to make touchdown-saving tackles. </p>
