Michigan’s sturdy, disruptive interior defender
Benny emerged in 2025 as a full-time starter for Michigan, finishing with 35 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, a fumble recovery and two pass breakups while starting all 13 games. His differentiators are size, power and steady run defense: evaluators consistently describe him as a stout interior presence with above-average strength and block-shedding ability, and his career arc shows clear year-to-year growth rather than a one-off spike. The main care factor is that he offers dependable, physical DL play with enough disruption upside to fit a power-based front.
