proven Sun Belt disruptor with NFL-style production
Manns is a disruptive, productive edge defender who earned second-team All-Sun Belt honors at James Madison in 2024 after posting 66 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, 9 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 2 recoveries, and 2 pass breakups in 13 games. His calling card is consistent backfield impact rather than just raw size, and his track record across Maine, Colorado, and JMU shows he can adapt quickly and produce in multiple systems. For a defense needing an experienced, high-motor DL who affects both the pass rush and run game, he is a strong fit.[6][8]
