Braden shows the ability to get after the passer, and applied pressure consistently in his fall 2023 season. In the run game, Gilligan does a nice job of taking on the run blockers to disrupt the play. He is a tough player, with good technique who plays snap to whistle. A strong senior season will go a long way for Braden.rnrnu003cstrongu003eAccolades:u003c/strongu003e Patriot League All-Starrnrnu003cbu003eProjection: u003c/bu003eHis physical measurables (height and weight) project Braden as a D1 FCS-Division 3/NAIA prospect","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b4368fdddbb"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16466606/6571f2065ca9720a482f36f6' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b4368fddee4"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["736846"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cbu003eFilm Highlight Review: u003c/bu003eFriedberg plays DL, both on the interior and at DE. When playing on the inside he shows the ability to generate penetration to make plays. His measurables align him to more likely play DE. At DE, Benjamin flashes a pass rush that is problematic for OL, and also shows he can chase down the quarterback. His ability to play both inside and outside is intriguing.rnrnu003cbu003eAccolades: u003c/bu003eD3 CMass all-star, Mid wach-B All-Starrnrnu003cstrongu003eProjection: u003c/strongu003eHis physical measurables (height and weight) project Benjamin as a Division 2/NAIA prospect","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b4368fddfb1"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16456891/6599fd3e578ee30ee0035c9e' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b4368fde018"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["991798"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cbu003eFilm Highlight Review: u003c/bu003eAt linebacker, Jack plays the position with high energy.

Jack plays against strong competition, and put together a solid junior season for the Division 4 Super Bowl winners.rnrnu003cstrongu003eProjection:u003c/strongu003e His physical measurables (height and weight) align Jack as a Division 1 FCS-Division 3 prospect.
