Veteran South Dakota OL with heavyweight grit and blue-collar edge
Bruce Manz was a three-year varsity starter at Buffalo High School and, in the 2009 season, earned Associated Press all-state honorable mention plus All-Metro second team recognition; he also wrestled at the state-ranked heavyweight level, which hints at real leverage and finishing power in the trenches[2]. For South Dakota, he fits the classic no-nonsense offensive-line profile: tough, physical, and battle-tested, with the kind of multi-sport background that often translates to balance, hand strength, and attitude. If your team wants a dependable interior grinder rather than a highlight-reel lineman, Manz is the type worth caring about.
