Expert Analysis
Matt Tate | Prep Redzone Scout
Bentley is a playmaker for Mountain Vista. He’s a big body receiver measuring in at 6’4 185-pounds. He accounted for 26 receptions for 562 yards with 7 touchdowns. Intriguing combination of size and speed. Bentley has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, acceleration, changer of direction, and jumping. He has a good release against both off coverage and the press jam. Crisp cuts into his route. He has very good separation quickness. Bentley will out run the DB at the top of the route, win the physicality contest, and find zone voids to exploit. He has very good body control and ball adjustment. Contorts his body and comes down with the big catch. Very good ball tracking and catching. He has strong hands to rip the ball out of the air and hold on it while getting hit. Does a great job on contested catches too. Bentley will use his home run speed after the catch to run into the endzone. He’s also a physical blocker, consistently locking up DBs. I’m surprised he’s gone unnoticed for so long, however with a strong season, colleges will have to take note.

Read EvaluationRobert Davis | Prep Redzone Scout
Bentley possesses a rare combination of size and athleticism that makes him a matchup problem for opposing defenses. At 6’4, he has a large catch radius while maintaining the speed needed to separate from defenders. His ability to create space at the top of his routes allows him to consistently get open and he shows a natural feel for finding soft spots in coverage. Bentley recorded 26 receptions for 562 yards and seven touchdowns, showcasing his big play ability and effectiveness in the red zone. He excels at high pointing the football, using his frame to win contested catches and finish through contact. His skill set projects well to the next level, especially as he continues to develop physically. With increased exposure and continued production, Bentley is a prospect who could quickly transition from under the radar to highly sought after D1 prospect.
