Rueben Bain leads big upset over IMG
8/27/22One of, if not the biggest upset nationally occurred in Bradenton, Florida in Friday night with Miami Central taking down powerhouse IMG Academy, 20-14. IMG annually boasts the nation’s most-talented roster and this season is no different. Miami Central pass rusher and On300 prospect Rueben Bain was the star of the game. In a savvy move, the Miami Central coaching staff moved Bain inside in order to take advantage of favorable matchups along the IMG offensive front. Bain ate as an interior pass rusher – finishing with three sacks. His initial quickness and active hands simply proved too much for the IMG interior to handle. Bain also sniffed out a screen and had some key pressures.
