Ranked inside our Pennsylvania 2028 top 400, this junior has transferred from Lincoln High School to Upper Darby High School and continues to contribute in several offensive and defensive roles. Listed at 5’9, 163 pounds, he has added eight pounds since our previous profile update. I’ve evaluated him multiple times over the past year, including his sophomore film and an appearance at one of our 7-on-7 events. He recently uploaded a two-minute full-season highlight reel to Hudl, giving us an updated look at his development. I had planned to see him in person again this season but was denied access, so this footage will have to serve as the basis for his latest evaluation.
His opening highlight features him aligned at running back in a pistol formation, where he takes a handoff between the tackles and breaks free for a 60-yard touchdown. It’s a good run, particularly considering he’s only 163 pounds and isn’t built like a traditional between-the-tackles back. He identifies the available rushing lane, commits to it and accelerates through the defense without unnecessarily bouncing the play outside. I appreciate his vision and willingness to work through interior traffic. He’s comfortable attacking gaps inside the offensive tackles despite giving up considerable size to most defenders in the box. That versatility allows his offense to use him beyond traditional slot receiver responsibilities.
Later in the tape, he returns to the inside slot alignment where I’ve become accustomed to evaluating him. On one rep, he works into the middle of the field and is left completely uncovered between the hashes, resulting in a touchdown from inside the red zone. The defensive coverage doesn’t present much resistance, so I wouldn’t consider this a particularly strong separation rep. However, he’s still willing to run his route into an area where he could reasonably expect contact from linebackers or safeties. He also takes a direct snap near the one-yard line and finishes another rushing touchdown, reinforcing his role as a versatile offensive contributor who can handle touches in different situations.
His defensive highlights feature him working at safety, primarily supporting the run and coming downhill to assist on tackles. He brings energy and physicality to those responsibilities, including an early rep where he helps force a fumble. I appreciate the willingness to tackle and compete near the line of scrimmage, but I would need more coverage footage before seriously considering him as a collegiate defensive back. Most of his available defensive highlights emphasize pursuit and run support rather than man coverage, route recognition or ball production.
His strongest collegiate projection remains at slot receiver, and one of his later highlights provides a better example of why. Working across the field on a crossing route, he creates separation and receives the football in stride before adding yardage after the catch. This is probably my favorite offensive rep on the tape because it allows us to evaluate his movement over a longer distance. His stride opens up, he maintains separation through the route and demonstrates the acceleration necessary to create additional yardage. It’s a more useful indicator of his receiving potential than some of the shorter scoring plays earlier in the compilation.
The full-season tape largely confirms the player I’ve evaluated previously. He’s an undersized but versatile offensive athlete who can contribute from the slot, take occasional carries and provide defensive support when needed. His vision, acceleration and willingness to work through traffic are positives, although I still want to see more developed receiving production and a larger sample of competitive coverage matchups. I don’t anticipate a dramatic drop from his current top 400 ranking based on this footage, but I also don’t see enough to justify a major boost. He’s producing and contributing in multiple roles, which is what I wanted to see following his transfer. My immediate recommendation is to share the full-season reel on Twitter rather than leaving it exclusively on Hudl. With the season completed, making that footage accessible to college coaches should be a priority.
I’m excited to see Jeremiah BenoitJeremiahBenoit

showcase his all-around athletic ability this weekend. At 5’9”, 163 pounds, he has a compact build that allows him to move well and compete at both receiver and defensive back. His quickness and versatility should translate well in open-field situations. Benoit has the potential to make an impact on both sides of the ball.
