Keeanu Benton, a former Badger nose tackle from 2019-2022 took the podium Wednesday at the 2023 NFL Draft Combine. The 6-foot-4, 300-plus pound athlete has climbed the draft rankings in recent months after an impressive Senior Bowl performance.
In his time with Wisconsin, the nose tackle compiled 81 tackles, including nine sacks, over 39 career games. Considering his size, Benton’s athletic ability is NFL-caliber and the Janesville, Wisconsin native will look to show out at the combine.
Fox sports has Benton as a late first round or early second round selection currently, but an impressive performance this week in front of the league’s scouts could vault him even higher.
We think that ceiling will turn out pretty high ☝️@keeanu_benton | #NFLCombine pic.twitter.com/5GKuywe9AA
