Freshman guard Benji Rook brings local scoring pedigree and quick-hitting backcourt energy to Franciscan
Benji Rook entered Franciscan as a freshman guard from Steubenville Catholic Central, and the early read is a classic “does the little things” backcourt piece: he’s listed at 5-foot-10, has already shown up in game action with assists and steals, and comes in with a reputation as his high school’s all-time leading scorer, so the shot-making is real. In the 2025-26 season, his early college role looks rotational rather than volume-heavy, which suggests a guard who can help a team with pace, pressure, and toughness more than headline stats.
