Frank Boenzi brings classic interior-DL size and early NIU pedigree
In the 2010 season, Frank Boenzi was a 6-foot-3, 305-pound defensive lineman at Northern Illinois, and his high-school résumé showed real power with 73 tackles as a senior plus first-team all-state recognition. His best selling points are old-school nose-guard mass, interior strength, and the kind of college-ready frame that lets him anchor against the run and eat blocks. He also arrived with a reputation for commitment and grit after choosing NIU despite academic and recruiting hurdles, which hints at a player who had to earn every step.
