Paul Bennett ’08 made an indelible mark on both the baseball and football fields. As a baseball player, he was a three-time all-conference selection and the Midwest Conference Player of the Year. Bennett holds several records, including most games played and most walks in a career, and is among the school leaders in home runs and runs batted in. His leadership earned him the K-Club Award and the title of team captain.

In football, Bennett’s versatility shone through as he started as a linebacker, moved to tight end, and concluded his career as a defensive end. He was named all-conference at both tight end and defensive end, showcasing his exceptional talent and adaptability.

Bennett’s academic excellence was equally impressive, earning him ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District honors on both 2007 and 2008.
