Jeremiah Benson brings power, production, and a high-upside frame to Minnesota’s front
Jeremiah Benson is a 2026 Minnesota commit whose appeal starts with real production: at West Bloomfield, he posted 12.5 career sacks, 73 tackles for loss, 37 quarterback hurries, 15 quarterback hits, and three forced fumbles, while also earning multiple all-region honors and team-captain status. Minnesota lists him at 6-foot-2, 255 pounds, and reports say he’s still adding mass, which points to a sturdy, developing EDGE/DL body with room to grow. The selling point is his disruptive motor and ability to live in the backfield; the fit is strong for a program that wants size, effort, and upside over instant flash.
