Florida Football Recruiting: Benedict Umeh has size needed for SEC today

Often times when looking at high school prospects for Florida football, one of the common themes we talk about here at Hail Florida Hail is whether or not a player has the size needed for the SEC. Most of the time, we comment that players must add 10 to 20 pounds before arriving on campus.

Florida Football: Sir Benedict

Listed at 6’5″ and 240 pounds, Umeh is a defensive lineman that matches the size of current Florida EDGE rusher Princely Umanmielen.
