Freshman DL with intriguing frame, but still a blank canvas
La'anui Meyers enters the 2026 season as a freshman defensive lineman for Idaho, listed around 6-foot-3 and 235 pounds, with a long, developmental build that fits the Vandals’ front[1][5]. The main reason to care: he has the size and upside of a classic projectable DL, but there’s no public stat trail yet, so the evaluation is about traits and fit rather than production[1][3]. If you want an immediate-impact veteran, he’s not that guy; if you want a high-upside, coachable lineman from a real development pipeline, he’s worth a closer look[5][14].
