It hasn’t been very fun to play Lake Nona High School for opposing quarterbacks this season, and a stout defensive line is why.
Lake Nona has racked up 63.5 tackles for loss and 29 sacks this season, and Penn State four-star defensive lineman commit Zane Durant has been the driving force along the line. The converted linebacker leads the team with an astounding 25 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, on 37 quarterback hurries, and four forced fumbles in just nine games this season.
At 6-foot-1, 251 pounds, Durant isn’t the biggest lineman in the world, but he’s strong enough and quick enough to bully opposing offensive lines from the interior to get into the backfield — on what feels like every play.
