Bolles (Jacksonville, FL) offensive tackle Brent Benedict earned Class 2A first-team all-state and EA Sports All-American honors for his junior season performance. With 37 official scholarship offers to his credit, including offers from some of the top programs in the nation, Benedict has certainly been recognized by Division 1A college coaches as well.
Now comes the difficult part, which is figuring out which college he will sign with next February. In the beginning stages of his decision-making process, the 6-5, 285-pound junior visited six schools - Georgia, Clemson, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Duke and Wake Forest - last week during Spring Break. The trip was a success, though Benedict is not any closer to being able to narrow anything down.
