Only 54 days remain until the beginning of the Nebraska Cornhuskers’ 2024 season, and as the countdown continues, 6-foot-9, 315-pound offensive lineman Bryce Benhart is in the spotlight. The Lakeville, Minnesota native is entering his sixth season with the Huskers after signing with the Huskers as part of their 2019 recruiting class and was a consensus four-star recruit across the recruiting industry. Coming out of Lakeville North High School, he was also an Army All-American in 2019. Through his first five seasons with the program, Benhart has become an anchor of the Husker’s offensive line, starting in 41 games over his career at right tackle, a program record. His 2023 season was his best as a Husker, and he earned All-Big Ten honorable mention honors from both the coaches and media. He has also been a consistent Academic All-Big selection throughout his career. In 2024, Benhart will be expected to be once again a stalwart member of the Huskers’ offensive line, which hopes to improve from 2023.
