Fact is, just b/c hes a wrestler or basketball player, even if they are good at them, doesnt mean he will be a good olineman. If that was the case, there would be a lot of good olineman walking around everywhere. We've gotten a few linemen over the last few years that were good wrestlers or bball players and we havent had an even slightly good lineman for awhile. If you have an o-lineman of Bryce's size, they can sometimes be very stiff. Bad hip flexion, pad level, and footwork. Wrestling will help improve many of these issues with him compared to a non-wrestler. Plus there is a mentality that wrestlers have that is transferable to football. Like was stated before by @Hedley Lamarr, the silent mean assassins were the worst to play against. It's like playing against the Hulk, the secret is, they're always angry. Quote Link to comment
spurs1990 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Listed as a rivals "Stock up" guy from day 3. To be fair, hard for his stock not to go up from their current rating. https://n.rivals.com/news/all-american-bowl-thursday-s-stock-report 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 All-American Bowl: Thursday's stock report STOCK UP Quote Future Nebraska Cornhusker Bryce Benhart may be the tallest to ever play in the All-American Bowl. He looks all of his listed 6-foot-9, and towers over the rest of his teammates. The challenge for a player like that is being a good bender and not playing too high. Benhart is effective because he is successful in that endeavor. The one knock is that Benhart could be stronger at the point of attack, but that is explained by dropping 20 pounds since the end of football season so that he can make the 285-pound limit for high school wrestling. 2 Quote Link to comment

I see a 22 yard scramble run for Adrian to give the Huskers their 34th 1st down against UGA. 1 Quote Link to comment

SouthLincoln Husker Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Lineman get no respect, but he is doing a nice job. Quote Link to comment
swmohusker Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 He has played very well. The east has some very good DEs. Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Says something that he can hang with tip-top guys even though he's having to compete at a light weight due to wrestling. Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I watched most of the game but will admit I didn't watch BB on every snap. On the plays that I did watch him, it wasn't that he was getting over powered, he wasn't moving his feet fast enough to stay in front of Smith. Add the 20 or so pounds he has lost and he would be even slower. Quote Link to comment

In a really game you run right at him multiple times so he stops lining up 4 yards outside and pass rushing every down. I tried to watch BB every play as we didn't have anyone else on that side of the ball. He did pretty good in general, did get beat few times. He also let the DE"s appear to get pressure a lot, but they were headed far too upfield and QB just stepped up. I think it was Rattler's bomb to Wilson that BB did that to perfection. 1 Quote Link to comment

On the flip side there were no blitzes for the oline to worry about. 1 Quote Link to comment
