Ronald Triplette, a 6’3, 245 pound strong side defensive end / defensive tackle from Shadow Creek High School (Pearland, TX) committed to Kansas State on June 5th. Triplette is a 247 composite 3-star (85) player with listed offers from numerous group of 5 schools.
What stands out the most on his film is his ability to turn speed into power. He has a nice burst off the line, and can convert that burst into power when he hits an offensive lineman. This is a foundational skill for defensive linemen. If a player can reliably get off the line and drive his man backwards, he’s got the hard part down.
