Recruitment

Having played for the same high school Brad Hawkins transferred to after starting out in New Jersey, Bennett wasn’t necessarily highly-sought after in terms of numbers, but he had some high-level opportunities.

With offers from Notre Dame and Penn State, Bennett was rated a four-star by Rivals, ESPN, and the 247Sports Composite. He pledged to Michigan on May 27, 2020.

Readiness Level

Likely a year or two away from seeing the field with regularity.
