Expert Analysis
Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
We have him currently at DL, but that will have to be switched over to TE because the now 6’4″ 220 lbs senior is making a big impact on the Yorkville offense without touching the ball. Dominic acts the part of an extra OL. He has great range to get to the second level and the long TE closes quickly on his target. He uses his length to get that first contact and is able to generate a good amount of power to get movement in his favor. That range allows him to play horizontally and hook the contain man to spring his back or QB loose. Don’t overlook the under the radar senior. Check out the tape.

In what seems to be the theme of this article, this 6’3 do everything prospect from Yorkville will line up all over the field for the Foxes. I expect Dominic to end up being an up-back/fullback type at the next level but he has the frame to be a move TE as well. Does a good job blocking in the run game and helps just enough in the passing game to be a threat to any defense. Another true scholar (4.425 GPA) he is gathering some Ivy league interest as well as local FCS schools. His Twitter handle is @DomVash_Benson
