* Bergen Catholic's Benjamin Shue committed to Texas on Wednesday
- - -
It was only two years ago that Benjamin Shue claimed a national freshman record in the discus throw.
It was easy to see then and it's still pretty obvious now that Shue has been building on that moment, raising his personal best marks each season and ranking among the nation's best in both the shot put and discus categories.
In November, MileSplit named Shue No. 7 in our Class of 2025 recruiting rankings. On Wednesday, Shue made the leap on his college decision, announcing his commitment to the University of Texas, a program which has a strong history of throws success.

What's more, Shue recently bumped up his U.S. No. 2 mark in the discus to a new career career mark of 204-10.5, which still lands him at No. 2 in the country and No. 14 all-time in the sophomore rankings (the junior class mark is 222-1). Shue holds a sophomore class record of 200-10 and a freshman class record of 198-5.
Shue also holds a shot put PR of 64 feet outdoors, a performance he netted out of the Bergen County Meet of Champions last May.
A versatile thrower with room to grow, Shue has five performances over 198 feet in the discus and four over 63 feet in the shot put. Indoors, Shue owns PRs of 62-8.75 in the shot put.
