Big-bodied Southern Utah lineman with room to rise
Jalani Liva is a 6-foot-3, 300-pound offensive lineman for Southern Utah who entered the 2026 season as a redshirt junior after appearing in one game in 2023 and sitting out in 2024, so the biggest storyline is development, not box-score noise. He brings the profile coaches love in the trenches: size, interior power, and a frame that suggests more functional strength could keep coming. Originally a notable prep pickup from Santa Margarita Catholic, he was described as one of California’s top uncommitted offensive linemen and earned all-county honors, which points to legit upside. If you want a physical developmental blocker with some pedigree, he’s worth watching.
