Expert Analysis
Jordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Fifita anchors the DL with his imposing presence in the middle at 6’6” 340 lbs. Massive frame that can hold ground and eat up space as a two-gap defender or use his athleticism to work around blockers in the short area. Size and natural strength allow him to control and overpower opponents at the contact point. Initiates heavy contact with well placed strikes and powerful hands to establish early positional leverage and disrupt blocking schemes. Plus lateral mobility and bend gives him the ability to chase inside the box and make plays working down the LOS. Picked up his first offer from Colorado State during the spring contact period and checks all the boxes to be a major D1 recruit going forward.

Read EvaluationPaul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Fifita is a massive kid in the middle of this Lancers defense, and is athletic enough to two-gap while strong enough at the POA to take on double teams and create immediate offensive displacement on the inside. He is powerful out of his stance and jacks up blockers with his strike and inside hands, while showing active feet and a strong base at the POA. Finding guys with his movement abilities and length at the IDL position is not easy, and makes him a very intriguing prospect for the next level, and it should not be long until he collects his first offer. Look for Fifita to once again be one of the toughest and most disruptive players across the vaunted WCAL in 2024, and play a big part in this loaded Saint Francis defense.
