re: DTs in 2010 Class

I have been to see Bryon Bennett play two games since this thread was started. He has played DE solely in both of those games. Not sure why the coaches moved him.

Just my point of view on him:

Size: 6'3" 265 pounds. He really has a lot of room to grow. Could really put on another 30 pounds and seemingly would not lose his quickness or mobility.

Quickness: I haven't seem him blow by anyone from his DE position in the two games I've watched. However, he seems to engage the OT first and seems like he would be quicker off the ball if he was moved inside to his natural position.

Strength: This seems to be a strong point of his. He really seems to drive his blockers backwards.

Motor: Doesn't seem to take a play off. Doesn't give up on the play either even if he has been blocked away from the play(See this a lot in high school where a kid just quits on the play if he's blocked)

Competition: He is playing 6A ball, highest classification level in MS. At times this year he seems to have outplayed his more well known DL teammate, Carlton Martin.

Leadership qualities: He has played big in big games. I posted in an earlier post where he absolutely dominated a state wide televised game against Madison Central's arch rival Clinton.

I hope this information helps some of you learn a little bit more about him. If you have any questions, I'll try my best to answer them.


ETA: I don't know what the receiver class is looking like for next year but there is a kid who plays for Madison Central that could get a look.

His name is Tobias Singleton. He is 6'2" 180. He is in the class of 2011. He runs a 4.4 40. I believe he has returned 5 kicks for touchdowns. He can score from any where on the field. The kid is amazing in the open field. He has great hands and really goes up for the ball at its highest point. It appears that he really understands how to out jump his opponent for the football. He could be a great special teams weapon as well as a true homerun threat at receiver.

Does anyone know anything about him? If he is possibly getting any looks?

No, it seems we are putting all our focus on Ferguson, Grissom, and King.

Geneo and Gabe.
