'07 DC WR Arrelious Benn (Illinois signee)

[BGriffBuckeye]

:osu: Arrelious Benn

Height: 6-foot-1
Weight: 208 pounds
40-yard dash: 4.45 seconds
Bench reps: 19
Vertical leap: 31 inches
Shuttle time: 4.5 seconds
GPA: 3.0

Interest: UF, Ohio State, FSU, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Tennesse, Virginia (all have offered)

Just carusing around the recruits for next year and saw that Arelious's name has appeared. He will most likely be a top recruit next year, one of the best WR's, and we are 1 of several offers. I don't know his interest level in us, but we have offered him and that must mean our staff thinks very highly of him. Arelious would be one helluva pick up next year. An AMP feature does reveal he wants an offer from Miami(FL).

Wow those are some amazing stats for a high school wideout. Hopefully the interest is mutual and he gives OSU serious consideration.

Arrelious has all the makings of a very good football. Plus, his name is cool too :).

Arrelious' team DC Dunbar has played Big Red the last few years. He was their biggest weapon on offense.

From the ND site...Charlie has told Arrelious that he is ND's #1 WR target for 2007. He visited ND unofficially this past weekend, as did Jimmy Clausen. Miami and FSU are also two of his favorites.

I think Charlie needs to worry about defensive guys instead of offensive.

This kid does look like a stud, but I am not holding my breath.

I'll bet no other school has what OSU has...a former All American with the same first name! Aulrelious Thomas (sp)

Arrelious has been named to Rivals Junior All-America team.

Big wideout with good speed has the ability to dominant in the red zone.

More video of Arrelious.

My take: My first thought throughout the videos was a concern for his level of competition. He returns a number of punts for TDs and jogs the final 20 yards or so on a few as defenders are shown dogging it in pursuit. His speed is obvious at times, but it is difficult to get a read on his skill based on what is shown in these films.

 

[Naplesbuckeye]

Completely agree....I thought he was jogging as well on several of them. But he has to be good to be ranked that high. Not sure about the level of competition.

 

[Roll Red Roll]

Level of competition IS a problem.

Is this not the same school that has played Bellaire and Steubenville and got absolutely massacred?

 

[casey_buckeye]

Steubenville, yes...Bellaire, no.

Steubenville thumps DC Dunbar
