Yan Jefte Tioua is a high-impact, 6-foot-0, 215-pound player for Noblesville. He is consisntetly around the ball, especially around the quarterback, where he has six sacks on the season through Week 6. Tioua has great edge speed and a quick first step, takes great angles to quarterbacks and wraps up. He can dip his shoulder and run the hoop. In week 5, he had 12 total tackles. He leads the HCC conference in sacks. A must-know name for college coaches this spring.

Yan Jefte Tioua is a starting defensive tackle for Noblesville High School. He is a very quick and explosive interior defensive lineman who can be very disruptive as a pass rusher. Jefte Tioua can penetrate the line of scrimmage with force and power, shed blocks effectively and play at a low pad level. Keep an eye on him during college camps.

Tioua is a fantastic athlete with a good range and a build that he’s filling out. He can play both first and second levels and have success. His speed is good, and I think he can be a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, but he is also aggressive and strong enough to be a pass rusher. I like how he plays like each snap is personal. Through 7 games, he’s got 26 tackles, 4 TFLs, 3 sacks, deflected a pass, and has a fumble recovery.
