In his sophomore season he was an edge player that had 42 solo tackles, 22 assists, 64 total tackles, 7 TFLs, and 1 INT for a TD. This young man is physical off the edge showing off his bull rush and the ability to throw his opponent to the side. He is quick off the edge when blitzing from linebacker depth and causing havoc in the backfield. Ben shows that he is able to drop into coverage and play the pass well. I like his determination to pursue to the ball every play and be there to make plays.

In his sophomore campaign, he had 40 solo tackles, 27 assists, 67 total tackles, 3 TFLs, and 1 INT. The first thing I noticed when watching Jose's film is that he is a physical tackler and triggers to the football in a hurry. He plays fast on every play but he plays under control. Jose shows up in coverage, making interceptions and breaking up passes in the deep part of the field. The way this young man blitzes and plays in the box is why you want this young man on your team. [player_tooltip player_id='1420585' first='Jose' last='Ramirez'] Casas is a name to remember for the 2025 class.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='967354' first='Garrett' last='Long']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Columbus North","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='967354' first='Garrett' last='Long'] is a 6'4u0022 220 pound DE from Columbus North High School.

He has powerful, long arms and bullies opposing offensive lines. Garrett does a great job keeping the edge and playing with great leverage. He shows to be an athletic edge player that will run down his opponents in the backfield. I love his effort and determination to get to the ball.

He plays fast, physical and is disruptive all over the field. Zeke does a great job sifting through the trash and making his way to the ball. One of the most impressive things I saw on film was the way Zeke blitzes. He blitzes with a purpose and does not hold back on the quarterback.
