‘s tape. Fellow Prep Redzone scout Matt Tate detailed his performance HERE and his highlight tape from his 8 varsity starts this season backup his showcase performance showing the loads of potential he has.
The first thing I loved was how tight his elbows were when he fits up the the run game, utilizing good hand placement to grip up and create displacement. He consistently drives his feet after contact and does a great job getting two cleats in the ground before striking. He is quick out of his stance which helps help reach DL often. He’s also got great balance to maintain blocks at awkward angles downfield. In pass pro, Kanoa shows the ability to quickly vertical set keeping his feet close to the ground – at times he can over set by a step or two, but has the quickness to redirect inside and run DL through. I’m sure he will work on that going into next season.
