Avon Old Farms coach Jon Wholley isn’t afraid to heap praise on his star Benedict Umeh. “He's a genetic freak from the standpoint of size,” Wholley told Irish Sports Daily. “He's 6-5, and he's 260 pounds and doesn't have any fat on his body. He looks like he's the Under Armour mannequin. That starts off for one. On top of a great physique and physical makeup, he's also got a lot of speed, explosion, strength and some natural instincts from a football standpoint.” What’s even more impressive is that 2022 was Wholley’s first full season of playing football. He played four games for West Toronto Prep in 2021 and focused on track. Wholley is also a successful wrestler and earns high marks for being a well-rounded student-athlete. “He’s got great grades. He’s a great student. He’s in all honors classes, and he is a leader in our community,” his coach said.

Elite / Top 100

Physically-gifted defensive lineman who is new to football in the U.S. and has considerable developmental upside. Has unverified size, listed at around 6-foot-5, 260 pounds. Has a muscled build. Born in Nigeria, moved to Toronto, Canada where he started playing football. Transferred to Avon Old Farms, a boarding school in Connecticut prior to his season. Often lines up as a big defensive end in a 3-man front. Raw power and burst allow him to make plays in the backfield of opposing offenses. Twitched up with nice get off and burst off the line of scrimmage. Has shock in his hands at the point of attack. Shows the ability to stack and shed blockers with his hands for being so new to the sport.  Picked up wrestling after his transfer to Avon Old Farms. Show an encouraging understanding of leverage and ability to manipulate blockers in his favor. Raw as a pass rusher. Will need to develop counter moves once the initial rush is stopped, which should come with collegiate coaching. Has upside considering he is still learning the nuances of the game. Best football is ahead of him. Older for the cycle, turning 19 years in the spring of his senior year.
