Expert Analysis
Paul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Bingham checks into our rankings as a top defensive lineman across the region and as he packs on weight to his frame should find his home inside in college. He is quick off the ball with rapid hand sets, shows immediate extension and can reset the line while eating drive blocks and double teams with ease. He shows he can rush the passer with a high motor and some interior twitch and pursuit backside and is a smooth mover for his size that should draw plenty of D3+ interest/offers heading through his senior season for Vallivue.

Bingham is one of the top pass rushers regardless of class heading into the 2025 season and is explosive off the ball, has natural bend and does a good job locking out blockers and using his length to his advantage. He shows he can set the edge while keeping his outside shoulder free, flashes quick block recognition and is stout against the run and can beat bigger tackles with both speed and power. He is another prospect that as he continues to grow and develop should draw plenty of college interest over the next two seasons and is very polished for his age.

Bingham is a very twitchy and quick pass rusher that offers position versatility on the edge or can kick inside as well. He wins with both speed and power at the point of attack while showing a quick use of hands and does a good job of using his leverage to get underneath bigger blockers and win with a precise strike point at the point of attack. Although a bit under-size he shows he can split double teams and take on drive blocks and should progress nicely through his Junior year. Checking into our rankings as a top five defensive lineman, Bingham is a D3+ prospect and should see his stock continue to rise and recruitment pick up by this time next year.

Bingham is a rangy defender that is stout at the POA, has technically sound hands against both the run and pass, and is a high motor kid that covers a ton of ground when collapsing the pocket. He shows some natural bend around the edge, uses his length to his advantage and knows when to win with either speed or bull against bigger tackles. He still has plenty of room for growth, but has the frame to pack on more weight through his prep career and is a name to note heading into the off season in this list of edge rushers. Checking in just inside the top 15 overall, and inside the top 5 at his position, Bingham is off to a great start in his ’24 campaign and should have some post season accolades coming his way.

Bingham checks into our top ten initial 2027 Idaho rankings, and is a very explosive interior pass rusher that should continue to have an excellent high school career over the next three seasons. He has a quick first step, heavy hands and gets into the backfield quickly with a strong initial inside punch, good leverage and is a powerful kid that can eat up blocks inside and provide some inside twitch from the defensive tackle position. He shows he can quickly get off blocks and walks blockers back in a hurry when bull rushing and will only continue to grow and develop as a interior defensive linemen. Look for the Freshmen to make a big leap into his second season, as he is only going to continue to grow and develop and add to his strong frame.
