Expert Analysis

Anchoring Bayonne’s offensive line in the middle, at center is Josue Pena Josue Pena 6'0" | 250 lbs | OL Bayonne | 2025 State NJ . Pena appears to be one of the shorter starting linemen for the Bees; however, he works that to his advantage as he can play below the pads of defenders a bit more easily. I appreciate how Pena plays downfield until the whistle blows. Additionally, he seems to be able to win with hat speed, consistently out-positioning his assignment. If defenders are undisciplined and want to ride with pressure, Pena simply allows them to run the turn style upfield for a play they will never make. One thing I would encourage Pena to improve upon as he enters his senior year is his hand placement. Consistently punching, grabbing, and controlling a defender’s chest plate will lead to even larger holes opening for his backs to run through.
