Final Report
Rueben Bain had incredible 2025 season that included a trip to the National Championship. Bain finished with 9.5 sacks, 15.5 tackles for loss, 1 forced fumble, and 1 INT. Bain is thickly built EDGE with fast, explosive hands and great flexibility. The big concern with Bain are his 1 percentile arms, 9 percentile hands, and his height to an extent. However, Bain has not only shown he has the abilities to overcome those disadvantages by playing with great leverage and relentless. Bain is an outstanding run defender. He sets a solid edge on the outside but can also be disruptive on the interior. He can from time to time get stuck on a block a beat too long. Bain also missed out on even more TFL's at times due to whiffs on arm tackle attempts. As a pass rusher, Bain is just as dangerous. His primary outside rush is very effective. His ability to bend at 263 pounds is incredibly rare. Just as important though is his power in pass rush. He's able to work through contact with ease, especially when closing the loop on his outside rushes. He also has effective inside counters, highlighted by a strong hump move. When all that fails he just runs through faces with a bull rush. Bain is an EDGE at the next level with the ability to work inside as a pass rusher. Early results have shown if he continues to improve his body with NFL training, he will be a very dangerous player at the next level for many years.
