BEN CLEVELAND | Georgia | 1st floor | # 74 | rSr | 6052 | 335 | Toccoa, GA | Stephens County HS | 8.25.98 (22)
Overview:
As a people mover in the game, there aren’t much more physically imposing offensive linemen than Cleveland. Cleveland makes it easy to create a lineman for indoor assaults in a laboratory. Cleveland is muscular, especially in the lower half, and shoots the ball with some bad intentions. Works well on combos, engaging levers and creating enough movement to make it to level two. He’s a player that coaches want to use as much as possible in a confined space. The more he is stressed sideways and in space, the worse he is. Its lower half lacks flexibility as it cannot reroute efficiently. He’s a waist tamer who has some serious balance issues and does way too many reps on the floor. His lack of quickness and flexibility of the foot severely limits his ability to project well onto a variety of systems. Cleveland is a gap power system specific guardian who is highly valued by a team that has the ability to unleash its natural strength in tight spaces. With its combination of size, strength, and evil charisma, Cleveland should at least provide a level of backup for a next-level team.
