Lance Keneley, 2020 3* DE, Mission Viejo (HS), CA (Offered)

Mission Viejo (Calif.) has one of the nation’s top defensive lines and a player we really like a lot is defensive end Lance Keneley.

The Diablos front four could be the best in the state and Keneley brings a lot of star power to the defense. At 6-5, 250 pounds, he has put on a solid 10-15 pounds from his junior season but is moving even better and looks more explosive off the snap.

He was a load to deal with against Upland, finishing with eight tackles, three quarterback sacks and two hurries. He was unblockable all night and we love the motor and relentlessness he plays with.

On the year, Keneley has 28 tackles, 12 for loss and eight sacks for the 6-0 Diablos. Throw in a 4.7 GPA off the field and Keneley has the talent and academics to play for any school in the region.

As for who’s recruiting him the hardest right now, Keneley has consistently mentioned the same four to five schools since the spring.

“The schools prioritizing me the most right now are Utah, Washington, Colorado, Arizona State and Boise State,” Keneley said. “I’m talking with several others as well and I haven’t started to cut or narrow my list right now.

Watch out for Stanford. They are looking at him closely and if they offer it's done.

That furd edumacation eh?

@sonics1993 do we have this kid or Carlton higher on our board? How does he compare to Draco Bynum?

I believe Xavier is at the top with Lance right under but I also know they have no clue how they are doing with Lance because he's not focused on recruiting right now.

Everyone shit on this kid when we offered him. So, do we want him now?

He’s gone. Sucks too because he’s pretty good.

Everyone shit on BBK and Dick Newton too, so this kid will probably end up being good

Biggins saw him live last week and said he just dominated the game. Unstoppable by anyone he matched up against.

I am in favor of him unless we get Carlton. But I’d hate to see us not get Carlton and wishing we had Keneley.

Draco Bynum was unblockable at times in high school.

Pissing on Bynum? The kid is a redshirt Frosh. WTF do you expect from him right now?

Sometimes they don’t work out. So always important to get more talent

Biggins thinks we’re running behind Utah and Stanford

If Utah took him and we took Carlton I'd be fine with that. I think ultimately we will end up poaching a d lineman from a lower-level pac12 school

Wait, we can trash high school juniors and seniors but not college sophomores? What a world. I hope Draco becomes JJ Watt.

If he does, it's probably with another team. Likely portal.

They ran the ball down our throats with 6 active linemen. Let’s that sink in
