Expert Analysis
Earnest Daniels | Prep Redzone Scout
Sahaaj Bennett from Malcolm Shabazz High School is a 6’2”, 184-pound defensive athlete who stood out from his camp performance at the PSR combine.The first thing that impressed about Sahaaj is his relentless motor. He’s a solid athlete with a long, sturdy frame and moves well across the field. Sahaaj excels at blitzing off the edge, showing a remarkable ability to quickly close in on the quarterback and attack downhill with urgency. His highlight tape showcases his impressive speed, allowing him to chase down players and make plays all over the field.Sahaaj epitomizes the new-age defensive player who can line up in multiple positions. He has taken snaps as an edge rusher, linebacker, and slot corner, and he can continue to expand his role. His versatility enables him to be effective on both the second and third levels of defense.As a slot corner came away impressed with what he could do as a spot dropper. Was able to effectively keep his eyes on the quarterback, and play his man. And has the awareness to make plays where the ball is going to highlight his keen awareness. However, there’s room for growth. To elevate his game from good to great, Sahaaj needs to improve at defeating blocks using his hands and length. Enhancing his form tackling in space by playing lower and reading/reacting quicker will also help. By breaking down effectively in space and maintaining a low stance, he can become a more reliable and effective tackler tackler.Sahaaj recently received an offer from Kent State, before his solid performance at the PSR combine. His coverage skills during the combine prompted me to revisit his tape, and I came away highly impressed with his versatility and ability to execute multiple roles within a defensive scheme.
