Stetson’s young mauler: Samuel Ballentine brings size, upside, and academic discipline
Samuel Ballentine is a developmental offensive lineman for Stetson who already has the frame college coaches want at 6-3 and about 282 pounds on the 2026 roster[8]. He’s listed as a redshirt sophomore and was included on Stetson’s 2025 PFL Academic Honor Roll, which hints at a player who can handle the playbook and the classroom[8][11]. There aren’t public stat lines for an OL, but the key takeaway is upside: if he keeps adding functional strength and polish, he profiles as a sturdy depth piece with starter-level potential.
