About Tanner
Expert Analysis
Ben Mitchum | Prep Redzone Scout
Geist is the anchor of a talented Hays defensive front. The 6-foot-2, 270-pound defensive tackle is a big reason Hays made the 5A State Title game as a sophomore and another good run this past season as a junior. Also another stellar student-athlete, he holds a 4.0 GPA.
Explosive and athletic defensive lineman who brings really good strength and a desirable frame to build upon at the next level. In the weight room he has shown off that strength by posting a 395-pound bench, a 570-pound squat and lastly a 365-pound clean.
Plays with very solid pad level and leverage. Also shows good fundamentals when it comes to proper hand placement and usage. Able to engage and shed blockers very easily. Shows a good explosive first step making him a really high level run stopper and a quality pass rusher from the interior.
On the season he had 91 tackles, 20 tackles for loss and seven sacks.
Geist will be one of the more heavily recruited defensive lineman in the state and was honored as a 1st Team 5A defensive tackle and a 1st Team All-Western Athletic Conference defensive tackle.
