Bennett is a 6-foot-4, 220-pound defensive lineman out of Suffield, Connecticut. In addition to be the top player from his home state, he’s also ranked as the No. 21 strong-side defensive end in the class.

Michigan’s 2021 recruiting class has come on strong as of late. Currently, the Wolverines rank seventh nationally and second in the B1G in the 247Sports recruiting rankings. Seven of their 15 verbal commits have a four- or five-star ranking.
