Strengths: Decent athleticism…Very good motor…Does a nice job of sliding feet to mirror edge rushers…Sinks hips well to maintain leverage…Drives feet while keeping wide base…Shows nice hand placement and decent punch
Weaknesses: Lacks aggressiveness with first step…Lacks ideal height/length for tackle position…Size ceiling might be limited
Reminds me of: Mason Cole. Cole was more refined, but from a body type perspective, I think the two players are similar. They’re both good-not-great athletes with decent size and a good motor.
Overall: I had watched Benny’s sophomore film previously, and I expected more physical growth. For better or worse, he still looks to be in that 6’4″ range (he’s listed at 6’5″ on 247 Sports) or perhaps even a smidge shorter. He looks like a solid player all around without being particularly great at any one thing. Because of his ability to sink his hips, I wouldn’t mind seeing him slide all the way inside to center, but he’s a guy who could potentially play all five positions on the line.
