CEILING POTENTIAL

Mid-Level Starter Potential

PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT

Benny is a powerful, athletic interior defender with a strong anchor and steady three-down rotational value. At 6’4”, 305 pounds, he combines good lateral quickness with natural leverage and upper-body power, allowing him to control gaps and absorb double teams effectively. He wins early with a quick first step and heavy hands but currently relies too heavily on bull rush mechanics without a refined counter arsenal. His ceiling hinges on pass-rush development and medical clarity. Benny projects best as a rotational 3-tech or shade nose in even fronts, with upside to become a dependable early-down starter in a multiple scheme.

A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits.
