TCU's Explosive DE with NFL Pedigree
Ben Banogu, a dynamic TCU Horned Frogs defensive end, showcased elite college production with standout 2018 highlights featuring disruptive plays, backed by his high school dominance at ULM (21 TFLs, 10.5 sacks as a senior); his 4.62 40-yard dash at the 2019 NFL Combine highlighted rare speed for his 6'3", 252-lb frame, translating to intense pass-rush intensity that made him a 2019 second-round pick by the Colts. Though NFL career fizzled (e.g., 50.6 PFF grade, 2 pressures in 2022), his college tape reveals a high-motor, athletic freak ideal for teams seeking raw edge talent with proven burst and run-stopping grit.
