Steve Manuma brings length, edge-rush juice, and upside to Utah Tech’s linebacker room
Manuma is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound freshman linebacker from Las Vegas who arrived at Utah Tech with a strong prep résumé: 71 career tackles and 14 sacks at Desert Pines, including a junior season with 36 tackles and 9 sacks. Utah Tech’s staff specifically highlighted his length and pass-rush ability, which makes him more than a run-stopping body — he looks like a developmental pressure player with a high motor. There are no college game stats yet, so the bet here is upside, traits, and how quickly his athleticism translates.
