Redbird WR with freshman-upside and proven high school juice
Bo Benassi is a young Illinois State wideout listed at 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, and he was redshirted in 2024, so the current football read is more projection than production[1][4]. His best calling card is upside: he arrived with real prep pass-catching pop at Pekin High, where he posted 715 receiving yards, 40 catches, and 6 touchdowns in 2022, showing big-play efficiency at 21 yards per catch[7]. If you want a developmental receiver with frame, athletic promise, and room to grow into a red-zone and vertical threat, he’s a smart watch-list fit[1][7].
