Oh goodness we are almost done with the 80s. How did that happen?! I hope it is a good/lazy weekend for you while we have 82 Days until kickoff. While I’ve got your attention lets talk about…

Career Highlights
Played in 11 games last season with one start. He had four receptions last season with the longest (12 yards) against Penn State. Not too shabby.
He was also Mountain West Scholar-Athlete and Academic All-Mountain West twice. That counts for something.
2025 Prospectus
Let’s be straightforward here: most likely more of the same. Solid bench player with some special teams appearance and most likely a start for Senior Day. Nothing wrong with this at all. You would love to see a breakout season but there was a reason there was a rush for WRs this recruiting season.
Is he on Twi/X?
Yes. And you can find it here. But I couldn’t pass up this video with Ford.
Completely made up fact
All vehicle-related jokes aside, Ben is more of a Lamborghini guy.
Doesn’t make a lot of noise, but you know what they say, it’s the quiet ones you’ve got to look out for.
