veteran Marist safety with a playmaker’s pedigree
Ben Willett has long stood out as a two-way football athlete, earning Rhode Island’s Gatorade Player of the Year honor in 2010-11 after posting 84 tackles and five interceptions on defense, plus 1,107 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns as a high school senior. His profile suggests a high-intensity, instinctive defensive back who brings proven competitiveness and ball-hawking upside rather than flash. If a team wants a safety with toughness, versatility, and a history of making impact plays, Willett’s résumé says he fits the mold.
