Why Cayden Benson Cayden Benson 5'11" | 175 lbs | QB Creekside | 2026 State GA Still Doesn’t Get His Due Respect

If there’s one player on the Creekside roster who embodies both dominance and leadership, it’s senior quarterback Cayden Benson Cayden Benson 5'11" | 175 lbs | QB Creekside | 2026 State GA — yet he doesn’t always get the acclaim he deserves when people talk about Georgia’s elite QBs. That needs to change.

A Season of Production That Demands Respect

All season long; Benson has been at the center of Creekside’s explosive offensive identity. During the 2025 regular season, he put up remarkable numbers:

2,680 passing yards with 37 touchdown passes

372 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns

Led Creekside to a record-breaking offensive season averaging over 57 points per game — a GHSA record total of 803 points entering the playoffs.

These totals show he’s not just managing Creekside’s offense — he’s fueling it.

State Title Game: Big Stage, Big Moments

When everything was on the line in the GHSA Class 4A state championship game, Benson delivered again:

161 passing yards and a touchdown

**133 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns

Accounted for over 300 yards of total offense in arguably the biggest game of his high school career.

He was instrumental in Creekside’s 42–39 comeback win over Benedictine to secure the state title and finish the season 15–0 — breaking records and reinforcing his status as a complete quarterback.

So Why Doesn’t He Get More Respect?

Despite these elite numbers and clutch performances:

National and state conversations still spotlight other QBs while Benson flies under the radar.

His dual-threat ability a premier passer and dangerous runner often gets overshadowed by sheer offensive talent around him.

But you don’t have to squint at his resume to see what he’s accomplished. Benson’s leadership, production, and state championship performance should have him talked about among the best quarterbacks in Georgia if not the outright top this season.
