Wofford’s 2025 recruiting class got a boost when they landed Ben Diedrich, a 6‑4, 280‑pound offensive tackle out of North Atlanta High School in Georgia.
Diedrich was a four-year varsity starter and earned All-Region honors as a senior after piling up 45 pancake blocks in just six games reddit.com+13woffordterriers.com+13on3.com+13. That kind of dominance in high school earned him an impressive national OL rating (80.18) on3.com+2on3.com+2on3.com+2, putting him in the mix with top recruits.
Coaches are excited about his strength and footwork, which fit the balance Wofford wants—size up front with the ability to move in their increasingly versatile offense. He joins a line with others like P.J. Miller and rising redshirts, giving the Terriers depth and competition in spring drills woffordterriers.com.
At 280 lbs and still growing, Diedrich adds youth and potential to a unit that needs to protect the quarterback and open running lanes. As a freshman, he’ll start by learning from veteran linemen while rotating in and out on game day.
For Diedrich, this is a big step—from ATL to Spartanburg, bringing with him a quiet confidence and a chip on his shoulder. Keep an eye on camp reports this summer—if early signs hold, he could sneak into the starting lineup by fall.
