Anthony LaLota: Meet your new Michigan Wolverine

Anthony LaLota

Height: 6'6"
Weight: 220 lbs.
High School: The Hun School (New Jersey)
High School Coach David Dudeck
Position: Defensive End
Recruiter: Coach Greg Frey
Class: 2009 Recruiting Class (Signed and Enrolled)




Anthony LaLota

Overview: He is a good combination of size and athletic ability. He could play either defensive end or offensive tackle. In our opinion, he has more upside at offensive tackle, but more than enough talent to be a very good defensive end. He is a very good get for Coach Rod and the Michigan staff, especially in light of the recent problems with fellow New Jersey recruit Marcus Witherspoon.

Anthony LaLota Interview


Strengths: At offensive tackle, Lalota sets up well in pass protection and plays with his knees bent. He is also very good, and very quick, on his feet. He would make an excellent left tackle.

At defensive end, he does a nice job of maintaining outside leverage. He is also technically sound in his positional play. He uses his long arms to beat offensive tackles on the pass rush. He is better suited to play on the strong side in our opinion. He does not show the explosive get-off needed to be a pure edge rusher.

Needs Work: He has a tendency to play high. He needs to get his pads down and play with leverage. Also, he needs to add some weight and strength, and has a frame that should enable him to do so. He should also benefit from working out with Coach Barwis.

All Star Game: His performance was just average in our opinion. He will definitely need more seasoning then we originally believed.
