Solid edge prospect at 6’3” 230 lbs. He’s an attacking defender with a dynamic skillset to contain the edge as a run stopper or aggressively rush the passer. Applies immediate pressure to OT’s with his initial quickness and explosiveness off the ball. His first step and short area burst allows him to run the arc around blockers and then use his bend to flatten at the top of the rush. Strength gives him the ability to create immediate knock back and penetration on the snap. Uses his hands well to lock out and maintain separation from blockers at the POA and then is able to disengage as he locates the ball. Strength gives him the ability to create immediate knock back and penetration on the snap. High motor player that plays with great energy and urgency to makes plays all over the field. Finished the 2025 season with 57 total tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks. Initial college offer from Northern Arizona last summer.

might still be flying under the radar, but there’s a lot to like about the Mesa High standout. At 6’3” and 230 pounds, he’s built like a future college lineman and moves with surprising ease for his size. He’s already picked up an offer from NAU, and it’s easy to see why — he flies around, makes his presence felt, and brings legit strength at the point of attack. He has the footwork and toughness to contribute on both sides of the ball, but defensively, he just looks natural slipping through blocks and disrupting plays in the backfield. His length and leverage allow him to shed and redirect with ease. This is a prospect with upside worth tracking closely over the next couple seasons.
