Bennett is ranked as the 33rd wide receiver in the Class of 2026, and the 218th recruit overall. This is the third wide receiver commitment for Florida State's 2026 recruiting class, as Bennett joins fellow Florida high school products Darryon Williams and Efrem White.
Bennett is staying in-state for college, as the six-foot-tall receiver played his high school ball at American Heritage High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. A two-sport athlete, Bennett is a star on the track in addition to the gridiron. A three-time state qualifier for the 100-meter dash and a two-time qualifier for the 200-meter, Bennett looks to be a speedy addition to Florida State's roster.
"Decorated track athlete that can challenge defenses vertically with his speed and acceleration." said 247 Sports Analyst Andrew Irvins.

In his 2024 season at American Heritage, Bennett helped lead the school to a Florida 4A state championship. He totaled 24 catches for 509 yards and seven touchdowns for the season. Bennett also added a kickoff return touchdown in American Heritage's state championship game.

Bennett joins a 2026 recruiting class for Florida State that ranks 35th nationally and 11th in the ACC currently, according to 247 Sports. His commitment earns Florida State its second four-star for 2026 and its highest-ranking recruit for the class.
