Theroux has popped on my radar several times due to his impressive T/F performances. He is a premier high jumper in Georgia who finished runner-up in the state and has a PR of 6’8”. He is still creeping onto the radar and fits right in on the Creekview defense with his downhill, physical brand of football. The real difference maker in this recruitment will be the juice he offers athletically, and with two years ahead of him, he has more runway to generate some attention, especially as he keeps inching closer to 7’0” in the HJ.

I wrote up Creekview’s Ben Theroux Ben Theroux 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB/WR Creekview | 2028 GA yesterday, but his 6’6” HJ PR is worthy of another mention. Here is a snippet from yesterday’s write up:

“His foot speed helps him match releases and carry routes vertically, but he is best when coming downhill. He is patient while diagnosing, quickly keys, and closes space in a hurry. The basis of intrigue here is the athlete. Theroux jumped a wicked 6’6” in the HJ last week, and it’s still early in the T/F season. With proper buzz here, Theroux should generate some recruiting attention, all things considered.”

Creekview has an impressive track record of sending DBs to the college level, and Theroux could be next along that line. A bit of a chess piece in the secondary who will probably project out more as a safety/nickel.
