Jonathan Bennett brings veteran depth and burst to Samford’s backfield
In the 2024 season, Samford listed Jonathan Bennett as a senior running back at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, and ESPN’s stat line shows he has been a low-volume, efficient runner with 2 carries for 12 yards in his Samford career. His differentiator is experience: he’s a seasoned, active roster piece with a compact frame, and the film/context around him points to a quick, dependable back who can fit into a rotation rather than carry a huge workload. If a team wants toughness, maturity, and depth more than headline stats, he’s worth a look.
