With the seventh-most receiving yards in all classes on just 20 catches so far this season, Samuel Benson Samuel Benson 6'2" | 190 lbs | WR/DB South Hardin | 2026 IA of South Hardin has registered 550 yards on 27.5 yards per catch to start the year. Benson is right up there with Ethan Headings Ethan Headings 6'2" | 190 lbs | ATH Iowa City West | 2026 State IA (who we previously highlighted as an offensive stock-riser), who has caught 27 passes or 746 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 27.6 yards per catch for Iowa City West.

That, and just under 50% of his catches have been touchdowns, as he’s already caught eight so far this season.

A fixture in the offense for the Tigers since his sophomore campaign, Benson broke onto the scene as a junior in 2024 with 54 catches for 1,003 yards and ten scores, and he’s on pace to surpass those numbers in a big way this fall. If South Hardin can continue their team success into the playoffs, he should blow those numbers out of the water. Undefeated through five games so far, the Tigers are set to take on the 1A defending champions this Friday at Grundy Center for the Spartans’ homecoming.
