Minnesota Duluth commit Ben Knaup Ben Knaup 6'2" | 240 lbs | DL East Ridge | 2026 State MN was a two-way force for East Ridge this year, and that level of success is very likely to continue into the playoffs. He finished the regular season with 23 total tackles, 4 TFLs, 3.0 sacks, and a forced fumble. On offense, he tallied 196 rushing yards on 44 carries and 2 TDs, as well as an 11-yard reception against White Bear Lake. Knaup is a DL that can challenge even the best linemen in 6A, and should be a problem for teams in the playoffs.
