Snipes checks every early box you look for when projecting high-end trench defenders. He brings a true D1 frame paired with explosive short-area burst, then closes with long-strided speed that turns pressures into splash plays. His hand violence is advanced for his age — consistently winning hand-to-hand with rips, pulls, and a legit swim move, while also flashing a polished long-arm to control blocks early. When you stack the athletic profile, technical refinement, and play temperament, Snipes is a certified blue-chip defender.

Keoni has been a force up front for one of the top teams in the state, setting the tone with his energy and athleticism. He’s a versatile pass rusher who wins with quickness off the line and the ability to adjust mid-rush to find an angle on the quarterback. His athletic ceiling is high, and he’s already started to turn heads because of it.
After picking up plenty of college interest in the offseason, Keoni has taken on a larger role this year and delivered in a big way. He’s proving he can be a consistent difference-maker in the trenches, combining effort, explosiveness, and playmaking instincts every time he’s on the field.
