The Commander-in-Chief of the Jefferson offense, everything starts and ends with Vernon Benda Vernon Benda Vernon Benda 6'0" | 185 lbs | ATH Cedar Rapids Jefferson | 2026 State IA for the J-Hawks. An experienced leader under center, Benda has a command of the offense that few have had in a long time at Jefferson, and he does a little bit of everything.

As a runner, Benda is smart, finds holes in the defense and slides down before taking any punishment. Through the air, he throws a tight ball and trusts his receivers — like Lloydson (LJ) Nyenow to go get it.

Though things got a bit out of hand for the Jefferson defense in the fourth quarter, Benda is a measured, calm presence at quarterback for the offense.
