Expert Analysis
Sam Erman | Prep Redzone Scout
Manna helped carry the load and move the chains when it mattered most. That game was physical, and everything was earned. His 121 yards and 3 TDs on the ground led the game. He then had 3 catches for 37 yards and another TD.

Manna is a tough inside tailback. He is great between-the-tackles with great burst through the hole and wastes no time getting upfield. Manna is a very valuable commitment for the Bulldogs and a great asset to new coach Kevin Lynch’s staff.

Quick tailback who runs bigger than his size would indicate. Very decisive, one-cut-and-go runner who wastes no time getting vertical. Finishes forward, tough, physically strong.

To see Manna where he is right now with his development is incredible. I’ve seen him come in since he was a freshman who was light and needed to put muscle on. He’s added 30-40 lbs and looks good. It’s translated to the field as well and he’s gotten more work and better each season. With 1156 rushing yards and 10 TDs right now, I really hope to see him pop as a senior because everything points to that being the case.

No back in the class has developed physically quite like Manna has. He came in as a freshman a bit undersized and needing some work in the weight room. He dedicated himself to developing his body and it’s paid off for him. He’s a thicker, well built, and strong back who should be able to handle a large workload in the heart of the trenches. He’s a back who is at a lot of camps as well and always looks good. He’s always looking for the extra reps, asking the right questions, and most importantly, paying attention. I’m a big fan of Manna and how he carries himself. It’s only a matter of time until all of this hard work begins to pay off.
