A speedy, playmaking linebacker with a natural nose for the ball, Bennett is a tough, quick-reacting defender who made play after play last season for the McIntosh defense. He brings good size and D1-caliber talent at 6-foot-1 215-pounds with the numbers to back up his potential. The Atlanta-area defender is coming off an extremely productive junior season where he made 95 tackles, five TFLs and two sacks. The playmaking linebacker also forced one fumble and is one of the top returning 2027 defenders in the region for the upcoming season.

A junior linebacker in the Atlanta are having a really strong junior season, Bennett Jr has shown good instincts and closing speed this fall and has lit up the stat sheet on a weekly basis. The quick, playmaking defender has made 95 tackles, five TFLs, two sacks, and one forced fumble. He runs well, can slip through blocks, and knows how to wrap up properly when making a tackles in the open field. He’s made at least eight tackles in seven games and has hit the 10+ tackle mark in three games. He’s been one of the more productive defenders in the region and could see some possible D1 interest come his way in the off-season.

Bennett is a very physical player and is someone that I have high hopes for. He gets better every game. He has great size, and at this rate will be one of the better players in the state come next year at the position. The best way to describe him is dominant.
