Brian Benson brings size and developmental upside to Stonehill’s defensive front
At 6-foot-4 and 280 pounds, Brian Benson offers the kind of frame coaches want in a disruptive defensive lineman, and Stonehill lists him as a senior after he earned NEC Fall Honor Roll recognition and played in four games with two tackles in 2025. His current stat line is modest, but the appeal is measurable upside: he has the size to hold the edge, the versatility to play inside or outside on the line, and enough academic/locker-room reliability to suggest a steady, coachable presence. If you need immediate splash production, he is still a projection; if you want a physical developmental fit, he makes sense.
