Trinton Bennett is a wide receiver out of Woodlawn High in Baton Rouge. He is a part of the class of 2026 and stands at 6’2″ and 172 pounds. Trinton is always ready to go for it and make a big play. His speed and ability to soar above any defender and catch the ball doesn’t go unnoticed. At one of our recent Gridiron Football Elite Camps, he scored an impressive touchdown during 7v7’s. I recently got to speak to him, and you can read what he had to say below.
