Braydon Bennett

Bennett was the third running back for Coastal Carolina in 2021, seeing less usage than lead back Shermari Jones and RB2 Reese White but proving more explosive than either with 8.6 yards per carry. That usage pattern could be due to Bennett's skinny frame – at a listed 6-foot-2, 190 pounds he's some 30 pounds lighter than Jones – but Jones graduated and it's on Bennett to step up. Look for Bennett's new contributions to often occur by the pass as Coastal tries to replace star pass catchers Jaivon Heiligh and Isaiah Likely.
