EKU's Swiss Army Knife Athlete from the 2013 Era
Ben De La Cruz stood out as Eastern Kentucky's most versatile and athletic player during his 2012-2013 college career, excelling as a reserve defensive back in 10 games with special teams contributions before transitioning to wide receiver—praised in scouting reports as one of the team's best all-around performers playing multiple positions over four years. His differentiator? Elite athleticism and adaptability that made him a coach's dream, now channeling that into running DeLaCruz Sports Performance in Orlando. No red flags like injuries noted; ideal fit for teams seeking high-motor, multi-role utility players with proven intensity.
