Stats: 10 Tackles, 2 Sacks, 4 TFLsrnThe 6’1″ 195 lbs junior LB is part of a deep LB squad at Franklin HS. A school that has produced a lot of LB talent as of late. Manny was all over the field Friday night creating a ton of disruption. He simply ran right through block attempts from linemen, and met ball carriers right at the line of scrimmage, or behind it. His strong tackling was sure to end plays as soon as he wrapped up. Manny plays so quickly that the line had a hard time getting a hat on him.
