He is well built kid with a strong lower body, especially for his age and can make big plays downfield. He has a very quick and twitchy first step with the ability to get upfield quickly and shows a nice burst while running strong through contact and breaking arm and ankle tackles in the open field. Able to gain yards after the catch and also shows solid tracking abilities downfield in traffic, he can run a variety of different routes underneath and over the top while covering ground at the third level. Benson is one of the better 2025 weapons Idaho has and is in line for a monster Junior season. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>Hudl Link:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16083224/ezra-benson">https://www.hudl.com/profile/16083224/ezra-benson</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["742926"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6435a15d42553"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Searle is a very well rounded two-way player and was one of the best defensive backs across the state in 2022, regardless of class. He is a smooth peddler with natural hips and feet in transition while able to play press coverage and is stout against the run when coming up and setting the edge in space while able to play press coverage with active hands and a strong punch/redirect. Searle is a no brainer D-III+ player at the next level that will only keep growing and developing.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Hudl Link: </em></strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14826337/Crew-Searle"><em>https://www.hudl.com/profile/14826337/Crew-Searle</em></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Other Top Additions..</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["565648"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6435a15d425ad"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["740601"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6435a15d425f4"} /-->
