I'll take it but I'd much rather him being listed in the transfer portal.
He's out of position at BUCK, but he's absolutely a guy who could put on 15 pounds and become an all-conference performer at the 5-tech spot vacated by String. Our depth is pretty damn young, so we're going to need a big year from Benning.

I don’t know about all-conference. He doesn’t make enough impact plays, but he could easily put on 10-15 pounds.

Not betting on it. Waited 2 season for him to put it together

He's not going to be all conference. He is going be a very valuable contributor at a position where we are talented but crazy young.
Benning has gotten very good at manning his space and making the tackles when they come to him (this was a weakness for him when he first started at UW). He has not been great at pressuring the QB from the buck position. This move should play yo his strengths and give time to our younger Bucks who are more explosive
So assume Potoae and Levi at the two "DL" spots, with Tryon and likely Bowman at BUCK and SAM respectively. Wellington and Manu (yikes)/Beavers (please) at ILB, and that leaves only one open starting spot in the front seven - nose tackle. That position has been a strength for us since, honestly, 2009 when Ta'amu first emerged as an impact player (though counting 2015 in that streak might be generous).

He's an asset.
So who's next, Tuli or Taimani?
