Apparently he was just offered. From everything I have heard he is a beast.

Those measurable are great for an interior lineman.

 

[Hodgepodge]

His brief ScoutingOhio film shows him to have excellent burst. I think you need to give him a shot as a defensive tackle before trying him on offense, but he has a bright future on either side of the ball.

VBCoach had a great post on Scout a few days ago on this kid. Really broke down his game well. Ohio is even deeper in 2011 than it looked on first glance.

1) Rivals $ - Bennett surprised by offer
January 31, 2010
Kevin Noon

OFFERS: Ohio State, NC State, Wake Forest, Indiana, Cincy... OSU is recruiting him as a DT but he's also being recruited by some for OL... Has no favorites or timeframe in mind & he will pick based on the best fit for him... He doesn't expect to make a late decision though...

2) Bucknuts $ - Bucks Make First Offer To Ohio Junior Offensive Lineman
By Bill Kurelic
Posted Jan 31, 2010

OFFERS: Same as above plus Northwestern, Duke, Ball State... Surprised by the offer, Bennett says he's unsure of favorites & he's just weighing his options... In this piece Bennett says position wasn't discussed... If the offer is for offense, he thinks it's for center. If it's for defense, he doesn't know what position it's for...

Pride of the Elks!

Yea true that and it already looked really deep. We're barely gonna hear about some of the guys in state because they won't have offers from us but they'll have offers from a lot of good teams.

Anyways, congrats to Bennet. Hadn't heard a thing about him until now.

Side note...from what i have been told there is nothing to worry about here...

 

[RB07OSU]

Just making an assumption before I get the low down...Elks don't go anywhere but OSU. I should be able to find out more.

And you didn't call me? That's 5 minutes from my house...

Bucks are in EXCELLENT shape here...

Saw the SO film about a week ago. This kid is explosive. He destroys what he hits...

So glad to get an early offer out that way.

 

[keylime_5]

Guy that quick and explosive you gotta think DT. Though I certainly wouldn't mind having a guy that quick off the ball on offensive line.

 

[Pimpinnati]

I'm guessing a 3 technique DT?

Wow. Agree wholeheartedly with ya Grad.

OL, DE, DT, doesn't matter. Just get this kid in S&G. Pronto. Gotta love the fight in those undersized linemen.
