Omaha Native Making Most of Limited Opportunities at Nebraska Safety
The 5'11" Omaha Westside product is a versatile defensive back who showed promise in limited 2025 season action, recording 18 tackles including a standout performance in Nebraska's Las Vegas Bowl loss to Utah. Known for his high school production (45 catches, 602 yards, 7 TDs as a senior), Benning brings athleticism and local ties to the Huskers' secondary. While still developing at the college level with modest early-season stats, his ability to capitalize on playing time and willingness to contribute on special teams (25 kick return yards) suggest a player hungry to prove himself—ideal for a program seeking depth and developmental upside in the secondary.
