Stonehill freshman DL Brenden Berube brings size, captain pedigree, and powerlifting toughness
Brenden Berube enters Stonehill as a **freshman defensive lineman** with a sturdy **6-foot-1, 275-pound** frame and a blue-collar profile that fits trench football well[3][8]. His best differentiators are the non-stat traits: he was a **football captain** at Xaverian Brothers, helped win **back-to-back Massachusetts state titles in 2023 and 2024**, and also captured **back-to-back powerlifting state championships in 2022 and 2023**, which points to real strength and competitive edge[8]. There are no meaningful college stats yet, so the appeal is projection: a physical, high-effort interior lineman who could fit a program looking for toughness, leadership, and development upside rather than instant production[2][8].
