Ben Ahio brings veteran edge-setting and disruption to Sacramento State’s front
In the 2024 season, Sacramento State DL Ben Ahio started every game at defensive end and produced 32 total tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks, with a knack for showing up in big moments — including an interception in the FCS playoffs and pressure plays in key games.[2][5][8] At 6-4 and 269 pounds, he looks like a classic anchor up front: physical, assignment-sound, and tough enough to hold the point while still giving you real pass-rush juice.[3][8][15] If a team wants a senior defender who plays with urgency, gap discipline, and some sneaky playmaking pop, Ahio is absolutely worth the eye test.
