Syracuse basketball 2021 five-star commit Benny Williams is having a strong senior year to date for the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., where he transferred to, amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, from the St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Potomac, Md.

The 6-foot-8 forward, as we’ve detailed on more than one occasion, has reached five-star status according to both the 247Sports Composite and Rivals.com, the latter of which ranks him No. 15 nationally in the 2021 cycle.

In a recent evaluation from 247Sports director of basketball scouting Jerry Meyer on Williams, Meyer had this to say about the future Orange player.
