Bennett Booth Bennett Booth 6'1" | 175 lbs | D | Right Hand Lambert | 2026 GA is a high-impact defenseman whose physicality and tenacity set him apart on the field. Committed to the University at Albany, Booth thrives in physical match-ups, never shying away from contact and using his strength to disrupt offenses with hard checks. His exceptional IQ allows him to read the game as it develops and make well-time slides. One of Booth’s standout attributes is his speed, which makes him a key asset in transition. He is relentless on ground balls, and he is comfortable and dangerous with the ball in his stick. His combination of physicality, awareness, and athleticism are the reasons he is a leader of Lambert’s defense, and why he will be a great addition for Albany.

Highlighted more in-depth in October’s post on the South’s top uncommitted ’26 defenders, Booth was an excellent pickup for a geographically diverse UAlbany class. The future Great Dane has an impressively polished defensive acumen along with ideal size and athleticism, serving as a leader on a highly talented 3d Georgia backline. On the fall circuit, it felt like Booth played with even more confidence and poise than he did before, which says a lot. Playing for two great programs, he’s bound to get even better between now and his arrival in the Capital Region.
