Brendan Mankarious | Prep Redzone Scout
Ben Coury Ben Coury 5'11" | 220 lbs | OL Phillipsburg | 2025 State NJ appears to be the Stateliner’s incumbent starting center as he prepares for 2024. Also serving in a spell role on defense, Coury was credited with 6 tackles (5 solo), 2 TFL, 1 sack, and 1 FR. The first thing I consistently noticed about Coury’s trench play is that he consistently wins with his head. By attacking the nearside shoulder when blocking back, he successfully cuts off the defensive tackle, forcing him to have to now rip across his face if he wants to make that play. Coury also does a really nice job working double teams, particularly with noses in a 0 technique, getting tremendous vertical movement on that down linemen. Depending on the play’s direction, after ensuring his adjacent guard has control of the down defender he then peels off to latch on to a second-level linebacker. Another subtle thing I noticed is that Coury is able to step-and-snap, simultaneously, on a consistent basis. This enables him to gain ground and get to his block at the same time the ball arrives to his quarterback. We see that Coury fights to work his hands both inside and under the defender; however, I would encourage him to use his hands, rather than chicken wing, and treat the defender’s chest plate like a steering wheel, being in full control of his block.
