Penn State’s physical, high-upside defensive back prospect
Ben Lago is an intriguing Penn State safety/defensive back because his profile points to a player with athletic upside, physical development potential, and the kind of versatility coaches value in the secondary. Publicly available information on his college production is limited, so the better read is trait-based: he fits a role where range, tackling reliability, and special-teams value can matter as much as box-score stats. If you want a depth piece with room to grow rather than a finished product, he is worth watching.
