Epenesa is an elite defensive line prospect out of Edwardsville who earned 8A All-State Honorable Mention Honors this season. The 6’4, 255 lbs edge rusher has all the intangibles that guarantee Epenesa will play big-time college football on Saturday’s in the near future. He is incredibly athletic and plays with a extremely high motor. Relentless in pursuit of the opposing quarterback, Epenesa displays tremendous bend, polished hands, a quick get off, and plus physicality against both the run and pass. As Epenesa heads into his senior campaign, this rising star is out to sack any quarterback he lines up across from next season.

Iose is the younger brother of former Iowa standout and Bills Defensive Lineman AJ Epenesa. The Edwardsville standout has created his own legacy, as Epenesa is the top player in the state of Illinois and a top 25 player in the country. Epenesa has a massive frame, standing at 6’4 and weighing 255 lbs. He moves incredible well with his long frame and showcases a quick get off, elite bend, and a high motor that allows him to be disruptive in both the run and pass game. It’s no surprise Epenesa is the #1 player in the state and will be a game wrecker for Edwardsville in his junior season.
