Last winter, Ben carved out a key role in the St. Thomas Aquinas rotation, making his mark primarily on the defensive end. A strong on-ball defender and athletic help-side presence, he consistently disrupted opposing offenses with energy and awareness. This season, Renze is expected to take on a much larger role — particularly on the offensive end. A highly accurate three-point shooter, he has a compact, quick release and can heat up in a hurry, needing very little space to get his shot off. Off the ball, he reads and uses screens effectively, applying constant pressure with his deliberate movement. Renze also excels in transition, sprinting the wing and setting his feet in rhythm for catch-and-shoot looks. As one of the team’s expected primary scorers, he’ll be a major piece for St. Thomas Aquinas this winter.

Ben is a crafty guard whose skill and creativity make him a standout finisher around the rim. With his ability to navigate through traffic and adapt mid-air, he consistently finds ways to score even against taller defenders. Ben’s sharp footwork, deceptive moves, and exceptional body control allow him to create angles and finish with finesse, often leaving opponents guessing. Whether it’s a soft floater, a reverse layup, or a clever use of the backboard, Ben has an arsenal of techniques that make him highly effective in the paint. His poise and ingenuity make him a constant challenge for defenders and a reliable scorer in tough situations.
