One of the more under the radar recruits in Wisconsin’s 2020 class, Benton committed to the Badgers in May 2018 over just two other offers from Iowa and Western Illinois. However, with his rare blend of size and athleticism (more on that later), you have to think that he could have expanded his recruitment quite a bit had he chose to keep it open a few months longer and gain more exposure by attending some of the college camps and recruiting events that are commonplace throughout the summer.
