Completely my fault for missing Cannon Benzio Cannon Benzio 6'4" | 210 lbs | QB Roman Catholic | 2027 State PA on the 1st quarterback article. This kid is an absolute stud of an athlete and quarterback. The day before the 7-on-7 tournament, he was at the Elite-11, where he put up insane numbers. He then came to the 7-on-7 tournament on Sunday, and he played well. Benzio is a physically impressive quarterback with great size (6’4″) and athleticism. He also has a strong arm, good mechanics, and footwork. Benzio is a talented player who can do it all as a quarterback. The Navy Academy is getting a special player as he is committed there.

Cannon Benzio Cannon Benzio 6'4" | 210 lbs | QB Roman Catholic | 2027 State PA is a talented quarterback for Roman Catholic. He has great size (6’4″) and athleticism. He can do it all on the football field. He recently decided to shut down his recruitment, and he is now committed to the Navy. A great opportunity for him to go and play for the Naval Academy.

Always worth a trip out seeing 6’4, 210-pound Cannon Benzio Cannon Benzio 6'4" | 210 lbs | QB Roman Catholic | 2027 State PA . There’s no doubting his talent and recruiting ceiling, he’ll just have to do what he can to consistently put throws like the one above up on Hudl, week in and week out. Great accuracy and mechanics on this rollout. More of this.

The easy choice for QB MVP at this event, despite there being several highly-ranked passers in attendance. This comes from the coaches present too, I didn’t have to plug Cannon Benzio Cannon Benzio 6'4" | 210 lbs | QB Roman Catholic | 2027 State PA ‘s name much post-camp. I, as well as coaches in attendance, were all under the impression that no QB outplayed Benzio at this event. Benzio is going to explode onto the scene in terms of production once he gets his shot to start full-time at Pennington. I was basing a substantial amount of my prior eval on what people close to him have said. After this event, I have tangible evidence that backs up bold claims I’ve made in the past. Benzio’s size/build checks out immediately. The kid is as advertised when watching him work in person. Yes, Benzio is just a 2027, yet I feel good about his potential durability at the next level, so long as he stays in the weight room. Consistency is high on my totem pole when evaluating QBs in a setting like the one presented last weekend at Spooky Nook. Can you replicate accurate passes, can you hit corner routes in-stride over and over again, can you replicate your release and have it look the same with each passing rep. I came away pleased with Benzio here. Each time I saw Benzio work a rep, I trusted knowing it would look the same hours from then.

Benzio flaunted a clean neutral stance. Relaxed but under control, balanced, the young man looks to avoid unnecessary movements. Stepped into each throw, finishes throws by following all the way through, puts the sword in the sheath. Deadly accurate, this was my major takeaway post camp. Love the depth perception he works with. Love the ideas he has with the football. I witnessed Benzio throw into tight windows, this while working with wideouts he has zero chemistry with. Benzio mixed tempo too, he could throw dots in tight coverage, he could lay balls out in front of speedy wideouts too. Great overall performance that led to Benzio being named QB MVP.

I came away very impressed from how the Pennington School operates based on how many top performers they had at our showcase. Quarterback Cannon Benzio Cannon Benzio 6'4" | 210 lbs | QB Roman Catholic | 2027 State PA was the MVP of a talented group, he had everyone buzzing with his accuracy. New Jersey Class of 2027 56th ranked prospect helped his stock immensely with his outing at Spooky Nook. He should start to get on FBS coaches radar if he isn’t already, Benzio looks like the real deal.

Question I Want Answered: Is this a Power Four QB Prospect?

6’4, 205 pounds. 4.0 GPA, ranked as the 6th best QB prospect among 2027 New Jersey passers. Self-reports some impressive testing numbers, excited to see if he can replicate a 9’10” Broad Jump and 4.4 Shuttle at our camp. Former South Philly Shark, a young man who has grown exponentially over the years, this in terms of height and weight. I can’t pretend to have extensive knowledge of all things surrounding Pennington School’s Cannon Benzio. He resides out of my rein on PRZ, I haven’t watched him play in person. I have heard rumblings about this young man’s potential, his tape and highlights I come across certainly portray exactly that. Before I plug him to the names I know across the Northeast, I want to see something substantial with my own eyes. I want to see if his height/weight checks out, I want to see how lively his arm is, how seasoned his release is as a current underclassman. What’s his temperament like? Excited to learn some things this Friday night.

From what I can tell, the Pennington School is slowly bringing along a sophomore ranked inisde the top 75 of his class.

6’4, 190 pounds. 4.0 GPA, was a well-known prospect headed into the high school ranks, has ties to South Philly if I’m not mistaken. Phenomenal size, the kid projects well from a tool perspective. Take Prestigiacomo as the low-ceiling, high-floor prospect, Benzio is your polar opposite. The Pennington School can win with both, shout out to the coaching staff for being able to win football games while developing both an upperclassman and an underclassman.

The upside is tangible, just a day before writing, Benzio posted four minutes worth of quality reps. These reps apparently coincide with Prestigiacomo, these aren’t JV/B-Team reps. *Eval – First rep on tape has Benzio ripping a corner route 35 yards downfield, layering the football over coverage despite being yards deep into his own end zone. Throws with anticipation. Has a ways to go from a footwork perspective, his base and throwing motions aren’t always replicated between reps, yet I’m not in-house to know mechanics beyond what I see on Hudl. Has a big arm, an arm that can stretch the field. Can drop a ball into a bucket 35+ yards downfield, a ton of flare to this kid’s game. Good pacing working his drop back, helmet/eyes dart around the field during some reps, love to see him scan the field for open targets. Unafraid to test tight windows, Benzio has completed some seriously tough/contested throws. Confidence is clearly through the roof, I don’t come across many underclassmen passers willing to hit Posts with coverage underneath and over top. Glad to see our NJ lead Brendan Mankarious rank the young man as high as he did this past off season, it’s warranted.
