Esa Wittingberg is quickly becoming one of the most coveted defensive line prospects in New Jersey’s 2027 class. At 6’3”, 220 pounds, he brings rare explosiveness off the edge and pairs it with a surprisingly polished pass-rush toolkit for such a young prospect.

Wittingberg consistently wins with his first step, but what really separates him is his technique. He uses his hands at a high level — creating space, attacking the chest plate, and controlling reps with mature placement and timing. He also shows real bend around the edge, allowing him to flatten and finish plays in the backfield. Rep after rep, the consistency pops off the tape.

East Orange had a historic season, finishing the regular season undefeated, and Wittingberg played a significant role in that success. With his blend of size, twitch, and technical ability, he’ll be a focal point again next fall as EO looks to repeat its dominance.

He already holds offers from NC State, Duke, Boston College, and Minnesota, and that list is only going to grow. Wittingberg’s trajectory is firmly upward.
