Small School Prospects Prove Their Worth

BEN BARTCHT, HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS

The Athletic's Dane Brugler writes that St. John's T Ben Bartch has "looked clean with his lateral movement and flashed the toughness at the point of attack to hold his own" during the Senior Bowl practice week."There have been a few practice reps where his eagerness backfired, and he ended up on the ground. But against pass rushers from the SEC and Big Ten, Bartch has graded out positively through two practices," Brugler noted of the 6-foot-6, 305-pound former tight end during the middle of practice week. Bartch has done exactly what he needed to do in Mobile to raise his stock profile as he looks to spring from Division III to the NFL this spring.
