Khing is a defensive lineman who brings a strong mix of power and effort at the point of attack. He plays with active hands and shows the ability to hold his ground against double teams, which makes him a reliable interior presence. What stands out most is his motor—he doesn’t take plays off and consistently works to stay involved even when initially blocked. He also flashes the ability to shed and redirect toward the ball, showing some natural instincts in run defense. As he continues to develop his pad level and add more pass-rush moves, his impact on the next level has the potential to grow even more as a disruptive interior force.

Khing is a high-impact defensive playmaker who consistently shows up in the backfield and changes the game with his production—11 sacks, 75 total tackles, 20 TFLs, 4 forced fumbles, 27 QB pressures, and 32 solo tackles. On film, he plays with an aggressive edge and a nonstop motor, always finding ways to get involved in the action whether it’s versus the run or the pass.

As a run defender, Khing is physical and disciplined, showing the ability to shed blocks and finish tackles in space. He doesn’t just occupy space—he actively works to defeat blocks and make plays at or behind the line of scrimmage, which is reflected in his high TFL and solo tackle numbers.

As a pass rusher, he is relentless. He consistently creates pressure with effort, burst, and timing, collapsing pockets and forcing quarterbacks into rushed decisions. His 11 sacks and 27 QB pressures show he’s not just finishing plays, but also consistently disrupting timing and structure on offense. The 4 forced fumbles highlight his finishing ability and awareness when attacking the ball.

Recruiting-wise, Khing’s production and versatility have drawn major attention, with 36 offers including programs like Colorado, Florida State, Illinois , and Kansas State, among others.

Thibodeaux is much different than the first two on this list, as a 2027 pure edge rusher with a high motor that gets after the quarterback. Khing absolutely fires off the ball and has an already developed swim move, which, combined with his solid change of direction, produces many sacks. Thirteen was the number in 2024, along with 15 TFLs. Thibodeaux plays like a seasoned vet with his precision in pass rush and body control to finish sacks. The sky should be the limit as a college prospect for Khing as he goes through his junior year. His offer list already totals over 20, including schools such as Penn State, Florida State, and UNC.

Thibodeaux emerged as a force to be reckoned with during his exceptional sophomore season. He has a quick first step with the ability to bend and torque his body to beat blockers off the edge. He consistently disrupted opposing offenses with his athleticism at the point of attack. Thibodeaux’s ability to close plays with excellent speed translated into an impressive stat line: 13 sacks, 45 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and 4 forced fumbles. His relentless motor and playmaking ability cemented his status as one of the top defensive standouts in the DFW area during the 2024 fall season. He has offers from the likes of Penn State, UNLV, UTSA, North Texas and San Diego State.
