Notre Dame’s young safety still looks like a developmental piece
Bennie-Powell arrived at Notre Dame as a 2024 three-star safety with a camp-earned offer, and his profile points to a rangy, developmental defensive back at 6-foot-1, 185 pounds who fits the Irish’s physical style; however, his game action has been extremely limited, with only one recorded appearance in 2025 and no meaningful stat trail to evaluate yet. He stands out more for upside, size, and early recruiting traction than for proven production, so he makes sense for a team willing to bet on traits, coaching, and long-term growth rather than immediate impact.
