Tahi has been PRZ’s top ranked DL prospect in the 2027 class and is starting to get the recruiting attention he deserves after offers coming in from Illinois and then Missouri. 6’3” 300 lbs. he has the ideal measurements and physical skillset that major D1 programs look for the interior DL. Has a good mix of speed and power moves to beat blockers. Plus initial quickness off the ball with a fast first step and shows he can redirect in the short area to pursue the ball. Excellent natural strength while playing with leverage to shed blockers and control his gap. Equally effective as a run stopper that is tough to move and as a pass rusher that can collapse the pocket from the inside. High football IQ to diagnose the play and react. Shows he can feel and react to screens. Recruitment is just beginning and will see more P4 programs come through.

Basha | 2027

. The 6’0 300 lbs freshman last year played a good majority of varsity snaps over the center at the nose tackle position for the Basha defense. Managing to bring in 7 total tackles, 3 of those being solo, this is appreciable when you consider he saw a substantial amount of double teams. And reasonable so, as he cannot be moved off the line of scrimmage, neutralizing these double teams with a great base and good pad level at the point of attack. He also exhibits sound instincts, being able to track the ball in the run game or even off an RB screen. Heading into his sophomore season, Tahi is gonna be a problem for offensive lines up front.
