Matthew Berenji brings speed, upside, and proven high-school production to Southern’s receiver room
Berenji is a 6-foot, 165-pound junior WR at Southern with a compact, speed-friendly frame and a track record of big-play efficiency from Western High School, where he posted 492 receiving yards, 22.4 yards per catch, and 9 receiving TDs in the 2020-21 season. His profile suggests a vertical threat who can stretch coverage and create chunk plays rather than pile up safe, low-aDOT catches. Publicly available college stat coverage is limited right now, so his fit hinges on whether Southern wants an explosive, developmental playmaker with upside and special-teams value.
