Benjamin Franklin brings Navy a big-bodied, high-upside edge-setting linebacker prospect
Franklin is a 6'3", 247-pound sophomore who has already earned a spot on Navy’s active roster after arriving as a decorated Tennessee high school running back, including All-State honors and 2,159 rushing yards with 31 touchdowns as a senior. That offensive background hints at useful instincts, toughness, and contact balance that can translate well to linebacker, especially in a physical system like Navy’s. He’s still early in his college career, so the main appeal is upside: size, athletic experience, and proven production against real competition rather than a finished stat profile.
