Ben Bienvenu is a rangy, academically solid linebacker with early-game flashes for Northwestern State
Bienvenu, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound sophomore linebacker from Natchitoches, showed early rotational value in 2025 by appearing in 11 games and recording a season-high five tackles against McNeese, plus four more versus UIW with his first career tackle for loss. His differentiators are length, size, and linebacker versatility backed by a 3.64 GPA and All-Academic recognition, which suggests reliability and a strong work ethic. He looks like a good fit for teams that want an instinctive, developing defender with upside rather than a finished product.[1][4][8]
