Scouting DL Maurice Bennett

There is another Bennett roaming the Jaguars' defensive line, Maurice, who carries many of the same traits as his older brother, Byron.

Name: Maurice Bennett
School: Madison Central (MS)
Position: Defensive Line
Size: 6' 2", 280-pounds
Class: 2012
Recruitment: Ole Miss, MSU, USM, FSU, Oklahoma, UCLA
Scout.com Ranking: 3-Star

Scout.com evaluation: You see a lot of his brother, Bryon Bennett, in Maurice on the high school level. Both played defensive end but have the bodies of a defensive tackle. He is not the quickest end, but nor should he be when weigh 280 and are playing out of position. He is quick off of the ball and brings a lot of lower body strength and uses good leverage to clog up the lanes.
