Stats: 21 Carries, 123 Yards, 1 Reception, 20 YardsrnThis is my favorite steal in the Class of 2024 RB group. Ben has a very well balanced attack that he has fine tuned over the season. He can win with agility and quickness between the tackles, or he can lower his shoulder and punish defenders. His power through contact and balance to gain yards afterwards is next level ready. The vision he plays with is also next level ready. Ben found blocks, lanes to use, and cutback lanes to utilize. Add in soft hands out of the backfield, and speed to be able to create the big plays and you get a steal in the Class of 2024. Don’t miss out on this kid. He will be a riser as we update rankings.

What a start to the year for the Waunakee senior RB. After four games, Ben is averaging an absurd 12 yards per carry going 41-507-10 TDs. Just as wild as the per carry average is that he is scoring a TD on 25% of his carries. Ben isn’t just an efficient HS RB. He has a great frame at this point in his development, checking in at 6’1″ 190 lbs. The instincts jump off the tape as well. He finds the lane, and is very efficient with his movements. You won’t see him wasting time dancing around. Ben is always going downhill. The back is also blessed with power and a low center of gravity. Together they allow him to run through arm tackles with ease. There seems to be more speed to his game compared to his junior highlights as well. Ben has proven that he has taken a step forward in his development, and needs to be on far more radars than he currently is.

Our newest running back to the rankings is Waunakee’s Ben Lindley Ben Lindley 6'1" | 190 lbs | RB Waunakee | 2024 State WI . The 6’1″ 190 lbs senior is built for the part of a workhorse back. The tape shows he is up for the job as well. Between the tackles, Ben relies on his vision to find blocks and see running lanes before cutting up field. Ben has some wiggle to his game in those tight quarters to shake LBs. Outside the tackles, Lindley has the speed to get around the corner and down the sideline. His well put together frame allows him to play physical when needed too. Look for the backfield leader to end his HS career on a high note.
