Manternach disrupted proceedings for opposing offenses throughout the 2025 season. The junior totaled 41.0 tackles, 23 of which were of the solo variety, ranking among the team’s leaders in overall stops. He registered 6.0 tackles for loss, 5.0 sacks and forced a fumble. Manternach provides evidence as to how he achieves success with highlights housed on his Hudl page. Against a state finalist in Regina, he bats down passes of a top quarterback on the first two plays of that tape, keeping his head up and eyes on the backfield. Manternach reads and reacts quickly coming off of the edge, utilizing active hands to engage and then separate from blocks. Video also shows him lining up at offense tackle, where he flashes potential for a future at that spot. What adds to the equation is that Manternach’s frame can comfortably add plenty of good weight and fill out in a strength and conditioning program.
