Bishop Gorman | 2027
State

may measure at 5’11, 215 pounds, but he plays with the explosiveness and force of a much bigger defender. His elite instincts consistently put him in the right position, allowing him to trigger downhill and disrupt plays early. Lutu closes on the ball with urgency, showing little wasted motion between read and reaction. He brings a violent style of play, finishing tackles with authority and confidence. Competing at a high level, he has all the traits of a linebacker ready to emerge on the recruiting radar.

Lutu sits as the highest ranked prospect without an offer in PRZ NV’s 2027 rankings. The #2 ranked LB in Nevada’s 2027 class put together a breakout junior season last fall with 73 tackles, 4 sacks, and 9 TFLs. He’s a strong and powerful defender in the box that excels as a downhill filler against the run and flashes his range and athleticism in spurts. He lacks ideal length at 5’11″/215 but the IQ/awareness, ability to shed blocks, and overall physicality should put him on the D-I radar. Lutu is an offer-now candidate and one of the most underrated prospects in the state currently.

Lutu is a strong candidate for a breakout junior season with the flashy upside he’s shown over the past two years. He’s been a top-ranked linebacker in PRZ NV’s rankings since last spring, despite having limited varsity reps, because of the physical make-up and skillset he displays. Lutu carries D-I upside heading into the upcoming season.

Lutu is a heavy-hitting gap filler with explosive acceleration to close quickly on the ball carrier. Lutu has natural instincts and great hips, allowing him to make big plays in pass coverage as well. It is only a matter of time until Lutu jumps onto D1 boards.

Lutu’s an up-and-coming LB that showed promising physicality and violence as an ILB for Bishop Gorman’s freshman squad last season. He’s a quick, athletic mover that wastes no time getting downhill to hammer ball-carriers between the OTs. He shows dominant strength and power when dealing with blockers and is a force creating negative plays in the run game. Lutu’s a prospect to keep on the radar while he continues to develop and wait for his number to be called.

Read EvaluationAlan Popadines | Prep Redzone Scout
Another Linebacker off the Vegas Strong 14U team, Lutu plays a very similar style to Gaoteote in the fact that they are always aggressive and always attacking. He’s a little thicker right now than his counterpart in the middle, but the duo was possibly the best one-two combination in the country at the position.
