Saw Brandon Bennett Brandon Bennett 6'3" | 210 lbs | ATH Montour | 2028 State PA work in a live setting at back-to-back 7v7s. His build was startling and I mean that as a compliment. A frame resembling that of a basketball prospect, Brandon Bennett Brandon Bennett 6'3" | 210 lbs | ATH Montour | 2028 State PA oozes with athletic potential, either at QB for Montour, or at several other positions.

Brandon Bennett is a big athlete who had limited film from last year but has been playing a lot in the off-season in 7 on 7 tournaments. He plays as a quarterback but is a good enough athlete to play multiple-skill positions. As a quarterback, he is a left-hander and shows a good arm. He throws with good anticipation and understands how to throw into tight coverage. Bennett has a chance to start next year at quarterback and make a big impact on Montour’s team. He is also a good athlete who could play other positions as well.

Bennett has a rocket ship attached to his left arm. He was very effective in AITFam West’s offense, which featured many deep passes and crossers used as check-down options. He demonstrated great accuracy in the middle of the field and was able to place the ball where defenders couldn’t reach it. When attacking at the deep level, Bennett showcased the best highlight reel over the weekend. Although he hasn’t yet had his chance to be a full-time starter on varsity, I understand why Bennett holds his current ranking.
