Benjamin Black, a Rutgers football commit, showed another reason this weekend why the Big Ten program thinks so highly of his skillset.
A class of 2024 wide receiver for Mallard Creek (Charlotte, NC), Black is a consensus three-star recruit.and isthe No. 24 recruit in the state according to 247Sports.
This weekend, he absolutely tossed an opponent to the ground, an impressive play in and of itself. But he did so moments after making a reception with the ball in his hand.
Oh, and he scored a touchdown on this play, part of a 53-0 win by Mallard Creek over Harding on Friday night.
Check out Black’s strength on display here on a flat route, where he takes the ball, twists and shrugs off a would-be tackler and then shows great speed to get into the endzone:
