Veteran ball-hawking DB with proven tackling production at EKU
Ben Bascom brings veteran depth and a dependable edge to Eastern Kentucky’s secondary: in the 2018 season, he started all 11 games at safety, posted 66 tackles, added 4 tackles for loss, 2 interceptions, 6 pass break-ups, and 2 forced fumbles, and earned third-team All-OVC notice from Phil Steele. He’s the kind of defensive back coaches like because he shows up in the run game, creates turnovers, and has already proven he can handle a full workload. The size-and-physicality profile is solid for a DB, and the takeaway machine vibe makes him a fit for teams wanting experience and swagger in the back end.
