At 6’4” and 215-pounds, Chico Bennett Jr. is the perfect size to be an outside linebacker or edge-rusher. Though he is listed as a linebacker from Battle Ground Academy in Franklin, Tennessee, he could likely do well as a defensive end as well. Last year, he was heavily recruited and received several offers from schools including power five programs like Tennessee, Virginia, and Kentucky, among others.
Bennett was also recruited by Paul Johnson and eventually committed to Georgia Tech around this time a year ago. Under head coach Geoff Collins’ stewardship, Tech’s defense has been getting a lot more attention then it usually has in the past.
