About

Justin Bennin

I played defensive back at Monmouth University for five years. Two-time team captain, started at safety, and finished 2025 with 44 tackles, a forced fumble, and a pile of film I still watch to coach off of.

Before college I played DB and WR at Battlefield High School in Gainesville, Virginia. Five picks, a couple of sacks, and a second team all-conference nod as a junior.

I started First Class Performance to give kids back home the training I wish I had growing up. Position work, real reps, honest feedback. That’s it. Sessions are $50 and I run them year round out of Monmouth, plus I travel to schools on request.

Two-way player.

DB and WR at Battlefield High School. Five picks and a couple of sacks across two seasons on defense, second team all-conference as a junior. Got the attention of Monmouth and signed on.

Earning the spot.

Worked through the depth chart and cracked the rotation at safety. Made the CAA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll that spring. The reps started adding up.

7 starts. 2 INTs.

Started seven games at safety, tied for the team lead with two interceptions, added a fumble recovery. Voted team captain for the first time. That's when the coaching instincts kicked in.

Captain. Again.

Appeared in all 12 games as a redshirt senior. 44 tackles, 22 solo, a pass breakup, a forced fumble. Named team captain for the second straight year and earned Phil Steele All-CAA second team preseason honors.

Back to work.

Launched First Class Performance to give kids back home the training I wish I had growing up. Position work, real reps, honest feedback. Based at Monmouth, traveling on request. $50 an hour.
