It’s been an arduous journey for Manley leading up to his senior season. A basketball standout in high school, the son of former Pro Bowl defensive end Dexter Manley Sr., Junior enrolled at Santa Monica College before transferring to Oregon, where he finished with eight tackles and three sacks in 2006. Manley elected to transfer to West Texas A&M as a junior and played in just three games due to injury. He is strong, fast and has great upside (only three years of football experience). Due to lack of film, Manley currently holds an incomplete grade but could earn as high as a mid-late round draft grade.
