How we track Benny: he is on the 2027 watch list because the reporting above says so, and this page carries nothing that reporting does not. A position or rating we have not verified is left off rather than guessed. We do not post measurables we have not read in print, film breakdowns or photos of high school recruits, and we do not publish predictions. A target is not a commit, and nothing here says otherwise until he signs.
