In a city where Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett are playing for the Rams, the leading sacker of high school quarterbacks is defensive end Hudson Manning of Chaminade in West Hills. He’s right down the street from the Rams’ headquarters in Woodland Hills.
The 6-foot-3, 230-pound senior had four sacks in a Division 2 playoff win over Corona del Mar on Friday, giving him 18½ on the season.
His brother, Hunter, was a star pitcher at West Ranch who now plays for UC Irvine. Sister Grace is headed to Navy to play lacrosse.
Hudson is the football player in the family who has just put in a lot of hard work to be a force on defense for the Eagles, who play Oxnard Pacifica on Friday in the quarterfinals.
