Watch a lot of high school football highlight film and you're going to see a fair share of astounding plays, truly memorable moments, flat-out athletic moves. Devoux Ma'a Tuataga, a 6-foot-6, 225-pound edge rusher from Cedar Valley High in Eagle Mountain, Utah, might have offered he best one we've come across among the Class of 2024 prospects. In the fourth quarter of an October game in Bountiful, this towering defender presented a terrorizing view for an opposing Viewmont quarterback. With 9:48 on the clock, He rushed hard from the other guy's right side on a pass play, launched all 78 inches of himself in the air with both arms fully extended once the ball was thrown, deflected it, cradled it on his thigh pad and had control of it by the time he landed on his feet.
