Expert Analysis
Caleb Holfoth | Prep Redzone Scout
Ba had a solid varsity debut last season in a league that is very difficult for Freshman to make an impact on the defensive line. There are some clear physical traits you see on film, like his length and overall body type. Ba plays as a defensive tackle for Farrell, partly because of his skillset and the talent that Farrell had last season at the EDGE position but he is a player who could develop into a 5-tech or is he gets big enough a 3-tech at the next level.
Ba plays with really good leverage and shows some explosiveness out of his stance. He flashes some solid knockback at the point of attack with strong hands, plays with a solid motor, and is always moving his feet.

Read EvaluationJared Valluzzi | Prep Redzone Scout
One of the top 2027 prospects in New York City. As just a freshman, Ba put himself on the map by competing against some excellent older linemen in the AAA division and he did very well. He started playing defensive line midway through last season and he thrived. Ba is expected to be a crucial part of this Farrell defense when it comes to owning the middle. Ba has gotten stronger and more explosive this offseason, look for him to make a splash during his sophomore campaign with the Lions.
