Redshirt junior Dylan Bennett has been a steady special teams contributor for the Pittsburgh Panthers, playing all 13 games in 2024 with six solo tackles while earning All-ACC Academic honors for the third time—highlighting his discipline and football IQ. At 5-11/210 lbs, his compact build fuels explosive tackling (69 total tackles, 7 sacks, 5.3 TPG in HS 2025), making him a high-motor depth piece perfect for teams needing versatile, low-maintenance linebackers who excel in coverage units without injury red flags.
