About Ben

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Powerful yet elusive runner with proven production and leadership on and off the field. A combination of vision, footwork, and toughness between the tackles with breakaway speed, as shown in his film and 40-time.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Instinctive, Competitive and a Team Player on the field, off the field I just want to help others and make a difference. Sprint when you are tired, Sprint when you are tired, Sprint when you are tired -

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I currently volunteer with the local food bank "The Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC"

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I’ve developed strong leadership and teamwork skills through football that have served me well on and off the field. Football has taught me the importance of discipline, accountability, and supporting my teammates so that we can all succeed together. I’ve learned to lead by example, working hard work in practice, encouraging others during tough moments, and staying focused class.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Early in high school, I was told I wasn’t fast enough...so I got faster. Then I was told I wasn’t big enough...I've proved otherwise on the field and at camps. People said I was only dominating because my competition wasn’t strong enough...I transferred, and I’m still dominating. I’ve met every challenge in front of me. What’s next? I’m ready for the challenge and ready to compete!

What type of college are you looking for?

Academically solid FBS, FCS, or D-II schools in the Southeast that value versatile RBs, with the upside of pushing into Group of Five D-I as I continue to develop athletically. If a school is the right fit from staff, community, campus, etc. I will consider most schools throughout the US.

Young is our top-ranked 8-man player in the state and he ran circles around the competition last year. He came close to hitting 2,000 scrimmage yards with patience and an ability to make players miss in the open field. I think his skillset translates to the next level, and he should have a huge senior season.
