has been the engine of the Colts’ offense this fall, piling up 1,300 all-purpose yards and 11 touchdowns, most of them on the ground. Now in the postseason, the 2026 standout remains their go-to threat, consistently creating chunk plays whenever the ball is in his hands. Bennett has become even more valuable as a versatile weapon who can impact the game from multiple spots. His production and athletic profile make him a strong candidate for in-state D2 attention as he continues to showcase his playmaking ability on the big stage.

made the most of the shortened game. He had a 98-yard kick return for a touchdown and rushed for 108 yards and a score on just 5 touches in the game. Bennett is one of the top playmakers in Class AA and has shown off his athletic versatility during his career, with how they can get him the ball in a variety of ways.

has been one of our top receiver prospects in the 2026 class since his sophomore year and will be the Colts’ top playmaker again this season. He posted over 500 yards and 7 touchdowns as a junior, and they should be able to get him the ball more in the passing game this season with 2028 QB/ATH

is a prospect that we’ve been high on for a while now and got to see for the first time in person at the Stock Up Showcase. Bennett earned WR Top Performer honors as one of the bigger and more physical receivers in attendance. As one of the longer and more filled-out receivers there, Bennett used his frame well during 1-on-1s to shield off the smaller DBs at the camp. Bennett posted over 500 yards and 5 touchdowns this season for the Colts as their leading receiver and will be a name that D2 programs should be checking out his senior year.

is the top returning skill player for the Colts this season and is a prospect that we’ve been high on for a while now in his class. He totaled 800 all-purpose yards and 10 touchdowns as a sophomore and should improve those numbers as a junior as the Colts will be looking for some skill players to replace their top two statistical players from a year ago this season. Bennett can be utilized in a variety of ways on offense and is a dynamic returner on special teams as well. He’s a playmaker with the ball in his hands and a good YAC receiver who can also stretch the field vertically from the slot or at wideout. Bennett has huge big-play threat ability as he averaged an incredible 35 yards per catch as a sophomore and scored 8 times on 15 catches. He’s also very good at playing in traffic and going up and making a play in the air.
Bennett should see more touches as a junior and could put up some big numbers this season as their potential go-to playmaker.

is just a playmaker for the Colts. Bennett totaled 850 all-purpose yards and led the team in receiving with 548 yards and 8 touchdowns. His playmaking ability carries over to special teams where he’s a lethal returner averaging over 26 yards per touch and had one score. Bennett was also the 4th-leading tackler on defense with 49 total while also returning a fumble for a touchdown and picking off two passes. I think his best position is receiver where he’s able to use his 6’1 length and speed to benefit from the most. Bennett has next-level speed which he shows in his separation ability before and after the catch. He’s a very good YAC receiver who is light on his feet and can make defenders miss too. His release off the line is very quick often beating his man before they can even react. Allowing him to get a free release spells trouble for any defense and Bennett was highly effective on slot fades and seam routes this season. Anytime he gets the ball in his hands he’s a threat to score and as he fine-tunes the technical side of his game he’ll become a nightmare to defend.

. Bennett is a versatile player that can play a number of positions on both sides of the ball but right now I like him at linebacker the most. He played some slot receiver and running back on offense and both middle and outside linebacker on defense. Bennett has nice size for a 2026 prospect at 6’1 185 and as he continues to get bigger and stronger his future looks bright. Even as a young linebacker, he showed the ability to drop back into coverage and has the athleticism to do so. Philip Barbour has some good young talent and
