Expert Analysis
Andy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
Manu’s trademark is his physicality. He’s added additional strength this offseason, and he is a player who can play multiple positions. He has the hip fluidity to cover twitchy, athletic slot receivers, has the speed to be on the boundary, and has the physical style of play to be a box safety/weakside backer hybrid. He’s a talented player and is a P4 prospect. He should get an uptick in his recruitment, and he is the best pure physical press man corner in the state.

Manu had a good two days and he displayed his patented physicality. He knocked receivers off their routes and knocked a few off their feet without much force. His physicality along with his coverage skills and instincts, make him an exciting prospect. He can slide into a slot corner, can be a box safety and has the cover skills and length to play on the outside on an island if needed. He’s an exciting prospect and his recruitment should see an uptick.

Manu has put in the work this offseason and he’s put on good size and is one of the best physical corners in his class. He does a good job of not only being physical, but having leverage over his receivers and getting position on them. He has good ball-tracking skills and will make it difficult for a receiver. He does well with his athletic movements to not be fooled with double moves and bigger, physical receivers do not phase him.
