Expert Analysis
Michael Huntley | Prep Redzone Scout
Holani had a team-high 10 tackles with 3.5 for a loss and 1.5 sacks in Santa Margarita’s dominant win over De La Salle in the Open Division State championship game.
Holani and the rest of Santa Margarita’s front seven made it very difficult for De La Salle to move the ball and the Eagles were sending him on blitzes all night.

Holani led Santa Margarita and tackles and had a huge fourth down stop in overtime where he blitzed and deflected the pass. He has good lateral quickness for his size and can lay big hits.

Read EvaluationMichael Huntley | Prep Redzone Scout
Holani had 72 tackles, 19 for a loss, six sacks, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries for Santa Margarita last season.
He really impressed me with his size, range in pass coverage and leadership at the Battle at the Beach tournament. On film, he is an explosive blitzer who you have to identify pre-snap or he can hurt you. Holani is often the spy against scrambling quarterbacks and closes to the ball quickly. He drives his feet through the tackle and punishes ball carriers, often causing fumbles. Holani is committed to Sacramento State and was one of the more under-recruited linebackers in this recruiting cycle in my opinion.

Holani had 80 tackles with 19 for a loss, six sacks with three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries for Santa Margarita last season.
He is explosive as a blitzer from the inside backer spot and he’s a guy opponent’s always have to identify pre-snap and know where he is at all times. Holani often is the spy against mobile quarterbacks or covers running backs in man coverage, but flies through the line to make late sacks.
He’s a strong guy who rips the ball from defenders and can drive ball carriers back a few yards after contact.
