On a normal day, Oak Park (Mich.) High class of 2021 two-way lineman Rayshaun Benny wakes up to a handful of messages from colleges coaches. There are 30-minute calls sprinkled throughout the day with coaches from schools such as Arkansas, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State and Tennessee.
Benny, who Rivals ranks as the No. 14 offensive guard and No. 83 overall player in America, is being recruited on both sides of the ball. It is nearly dead even for Benny between being recruited at offensive line or defensive line.
Notre Dame sees his talents on offense. The Fighting Irish extended an offer to the 6-5, 270-pounder March 26.
“It was crazy for real,” Benny said. “I thought Notre Dame was going to be my first offer. That’s who I was in contact with the most. It didn’t end up playing out that way but it’s cool.
“I talk to them every day now for real; I’m in contact with Blake Fisher. He’s trying to put me on with everybody, which is cool.”
