Christian Bentancur

As a College Recruit

Prolific pass-catcher with translatable skills as a target over the middle of the field. Measured in at around 6-foot-4.5, 235 pounds prior to his senior season. Had a record-setting high school career, finishing with 231 catches for 3,867 yards and 51 touchdowns over four seasons. A natural pass-catcher. Plays both in-line and flexed out for his high school. Uses good technique to get releases off the line, swiping at defenders’ hands. Runs with forward lean, aiding in his change of direction. Separates with shake at the top of his routes. Displays good hand placement in going for catches, properly framing the ball. Shows spatial awareness in finding openings in the defense. Effective at working the middle of the field. Has a solid burst after the catch toi pick up YAC. A solid blocker, but can continue to get stronger. Also saw time on defense as a defensive end. Doubles as a productive basketball player, averaging over 21 points per game as a junior. Doesn’t have ideal length, which could limit his ability as a jump ball threat. Will need to adjust to the considerable uptick in competition, coming from a smaller classification.
