6’4” 340 lb. OT and two year starter for Mater Dei Catholic, he’s shown great year over year improvement, climbing 26 spots to No. 74 overall in the updated PRZ state player rankings. He brings great natural strength and power to the trenches, consistently creating vertical movement at the point of attack and overwhelming defenders with his size and force. Despite his massive frame, he’s a good athlete who can get to the spot efficiently, establish positional leverage, and seal lanes in the run game. He plays with a strong base, anchors well in pass protection, and uses his length and strength to control defenders. With three Division I offers already in hand, his combination of experience, size, and upward trajectory makes him one of the more intriguing linemen in the class.

Latu is one of the higher-upside offensive linemen in the class. His size is too much for most high school edge guys to handle in the run game and his foot speed is solid for a guy his size.
