Expert Analysis
Andy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
Benjamin has good size and is light on his feet. He’s improved his overall game since transferring into Lehi. He has quick hands, moves well laterally, and is one of the better linemen in the class. It would not surprise if he picked up additional offers late in the process.

Mataalii comes back to Skyridge and will be a key part to the Lehi offense and not allowing his defender to create pressures. Mataalii is a mauler, and they can run behind him the entire night. It’ll be a good showing for him, a lineman who is light on his feet, moves well for his size, and has great technique.

Read EvaluationAndy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
Benjamin has exceptional size and towers over most defenders. His massive frame lends him to get north of 315 lbs. He is a mauler, a physical tackle who looks to pancake guys left and right and brings physicality to each play. He showcases good footwork and projects as a Right Tackle but could be a swing tackle if needed. He shows enough quickness to play with tackle spots. Benjamin showcases excellent hands and technique, doesn’t overreach to get touchy penalties, and is good at keeping everything in front of him during pass protection. He should get Power-Four offers.
