Expert Analysis
Scott Burgess | Prep Redzone Scout
Bess-Henning had a breakout season recording 37 catches for 746 yards and 11 touchdowns for Carmel. Silky smooth route runner that is money on the skinny and deep post routes. Runs it about as well as anyone in the state. Tracks the ball super well downfield and adjusts to it. Has a knack for finding the weak spot deep on scramble plays. Slippery with the ball after the catch on shorter routes.

was the best wideout on the field who seemed to be the total package. It is surprising to me that he does not have any offers yet. At 6-foot-2, 177 with a big 75-inch wingspan, the Class of 2028 prospect is an X or Z at the next level. He is tall and strong with a great size-speed combination. He was outstanding in every way, displays great ball skills and ability to high-point the ball and adjust low. He displays good downfield speed, explosiveness and twitch and a good first step with soft hands to leap and snatch the ball out of the air. He has immense potential to grow and has tremendous upside.

With his playmaking ability already on full display, Henning is poised to become one of the top young talents in the state.

Read EvaluationArlen Harris | Prep Redzone Scout
5’11 playmaker with some running back background. Could easily be considered an athlete but Greg best fits the wide receiver mold due to his long frame. Has good balance and stride length when weaving through traffic after the catch. Even has the wherewithal to set up blocks to steal extra yardage down field. Has long arms, catches ball well away from body and can jump ball with the best of them. Also, not afraid of contact at his size. This kid is definitely one to keep an eye on.
