Brad Benton '24 Recruiting Profile

Baseball has been my life since the age of 3, and now my journey and dream are before me as I graduate in 2024.  Currently I serve as a middle infielder and pitcher at Avon Park High School and with the Lakeland Legends travel team in Central Florida. Combining college baseball and higher education will be the next chapter of my life. As for baseball, starting at the youth level I have always found being part of a team is like having a second family.  You work together, you contribute your talents, be ready for challenges, and build one another up to be the best team possible. I consider myself to be a hard worker both on and off the field. Investing multiple hours in the gym and at the field are part of my regular routine to improve my abilities. I feel you can never improve or learn too much. I am very coachable.  

Speaking of investing time and learning, my educational goal is to study Business and Finance. After my baseball career is completed, whether it is college or pro, I would like to advise others how to be financially fit. It would be an extended dream to specifically counsel pro athletes to balance their sport careers with sound financial literacy and wealth management. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile, and best wishes on building your future college team.
