There are several options for who I wanted to focus on with our third selection. In the end we had to go with the defense’s leading tackler, Bo Benedict Bo Benedict 5'11" | 175 lbs | RB/LB River Falls | 2028 WI . The junior has 72 tackles, 4 TFLs, and 2 sacks along with 1 FF, and 2 FRs. Find the football and you are probably going to find Bo in pursuit. Especially against the run game. That is where Bo is at his best, filling his gap quickly so that the OL can’t get hands on him.

Stats: 14 Tackles

Junior LB Bo Benedict Bo Benedict 5'11" | 175 lbs | RB/LB River Falls | 2028 WI for River Falls was an athlete I wanted to watch closely Friday night. The 2028 LB is now up to 5’11” 195 lbs and playing the part of a stout LB. As you can see from the final stat line Bo was all over the front seven making tackles. He was instinctive, explosive through his gap and did a great job of meeting and wrapping up ball carriers in the hole. Bo also did really well avoiding the traffic including the large Chippewa Falls OLs. Bo has a nose for the ball and showed it off Friday night.

Another strong representation of the River Falls’ strength & conditioning program, as well as football team, Bo Benedict Bo Benedict 5'11" | 175 lbs | RB/LB River Falls | 2028 WI is an up-and-coming 2028 with some serious juice from the RB position. This dude has not missed any workouts this offseason, and was a jacked, cut up 180ish pounds, and he was putting the strength, speed, and explosiveness to good use during 1v1s. The speedy deep threat was consistently burning LBs vertically, and proved himself to be a dynamic route runner with some serious juice at the top of the route. Should be some major production coming out of the Benedict camp in 2026.
