He is quick off the line, has good strength, displays good acceleration, and is a physical player. He moves well laterally and has a good motor. He's been ultra productive every year, and he is an EDGE rusher who can win with speed and power. Lots to like. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1207708"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6903ff9f2ae64"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tug is quick off the line, shows good strength, and moves well laterally.

He has good footwork, has a good motor, and plays through the whistle. He's got the frame to work inside and be a key run stopper, and will bring pressure up the middle. and has a good bull rush. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["402738"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6903ff9f2aee9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tua is a good athlete and can work anywhere along the line. He has the physicality and power to work inside as a power rusher, and he shows the hip bend and explosiveness to work as an edge rusher. He has quick hands, shows good footwork, and has good closing speed. He's an exciting prospect and has been productive against some of the better offensive linemen in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1871140"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6903ff9f2af30"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Benjamin has done a fantastic job this year. He's taken the necessary steps and improved his game. He's quicker off the line, he shows good hip bend, and he has been more explosive this season. He can shed his blocks, get his lineman off balanced, and use his hands to finish him off. He's made tremendous strides and would be a player who'll fit with the right program in the DII /NAIA level, with the upside to transfer up after a couple of seasons to continue to growone his craft.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
