Top Performers

Here are a few of the top-performing linemen from the event. Each earned an invite to the AEX Rising Stars Game this December. They will compete alongside some of the best in the country:

Bennie Rawlings III – 2028 Offensive Lineman

Bennie Rawlings III was one of the most energetic athletes at the AEX Showcase. The 6'0", 300-pound lineman brought intensity to every drill and stood out during one-on-one matchups. His competitiveness and upper-body strength made him a tough challenge for opponents. As he continues to improve his footwork and conditioning, Bennie has the potential to make a significant impact at the next level.

Marc Mitchell – 2027 Center/Offensive Lineman

Marc Mitchell was definitely one of the top big men at the AEX Combine. The 2027 nose guard showcased impressive technique and footwork. He consistently won his matchups in the trenches. He defended with strength and leverage—without relying on holding—and used his lower body extremely well. Marc also demonstrated outstanding agility for his size, making him a standout performer. He is a big man to keep an eye on.

Travis Brasfield – 2027 Defensive End/Tight End

Travis had an impressive showing at the AEX Combine. He displayed strong athleticism and agility for his position. He showed a solid foundation in both footwork and technique. Consistently winning matchups with his speed and diverse skill set, he proved his capabilities. As he continues to develop, adding strength will elevate his game and make him an even more complete athlete.
