I'm watching this, right now.

Jackson is quick and damn elusive.

I think this kid is the next Golden Tate...without the super awesome name.

 

[Toobs1980]

have seen him play

have seen him play

he is a good looking athlete. Even though he isn't big physically he is great at going into traffic and coming down with the ball.

 

[Maddog77]

Per ISD BK has made contact with him and told him how he will be a great fit in his system and hopes he is still solid on ND. Bennett noted that he is a very down to earth coach.

Go to 1:02...That's our boy Bennett front-flipping over two guys.

Also go to 1:38, where Bennett hurdles a defender, as well.

 

[BillyIrish]

sick...

Should have ample opportunities to show off that athleticism in B.K.'s spread attack.

 

[JKhrome1ND]

damn this kid is fast, i think if he's packs on some college muscle to like 175/180lbs from his 165 high school frame, he will be even more dangerous.

 

[tko]

i have to admit when i saw this thread i was shitting my pants that yet another verbal was wavering. can i get a towel to wipe?

 

[GOLDENISTHYTATE]

Holy crap, thats what I call a vertical. Although I do hope once he gets to ND that he limits those type of plays unless they are needed to score because I don't want any Jahvid Best scenarios coming.

 

[chyrspchuck]

Really looking forward to seeing this kid play after hearing him on ISD PowerHour. He seems well put together.

And probably a better fit in a Kelly offense than Weis's.

 

[jason_h537]

I was not a big fan of his when he committed but i remember reading an artcile about his OV. He was running up and down the aisles cheering and let the student body lift him up for the pushups. After that i was sold. glad he is on board.

 

[DirtySecret]

This kid is sick.. After watching his Senior highlight film, he's an impact playmaker..

2:48 of that video has me really excited... This kid is athletic and tough!

Finished 4th in the 2010 NJ State HS 100m with a 10.94.

ND 2011 Prospect Junior Miles Shuler won the event with a 10.73.

 

[TerryTate]

That's awesome.

 

[Big23Head]

Benette is now on special teams and may see the field on offense. Kelly says he flies through the coverage but needs to work on actually catching the ball once he gets there

South Bend Tribune: Notre Dame football: Tight end spot takes a late hit

Freshmen continue to sneak up the Irish depth chart.

A day after sophomore wide receiver Shaquelle Evans' transfer to UCLA became public, freshman wide receiver Bennett Jackson had his day to shine.
Apparently, he is no one-day wonder.

“He's really fast,” Kelly said of the reigning New Jersey state champ in the 110-meter high hurdles (13.75 seconds). “Really, really fast.

“He can take the top off of coverages like no player that we have. He's got to catch the ball more consistently. It makes no sense to run down the field and drop the ball. He's coming on, and we're going to play him. He's going to play this year.”

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

That is great to hear....what special team will he be on? Imagine him and Riddick on kick off returns....!?

 

[Irish Man3]

That is great to hear....what special team will he be on? Imagine him and Riddick on kick off returns....!?

Im still more excited to see Cierre Wood back there!

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Kelly has already said that Riddick and Wood will be returning kicks.

So unless Kelly changed his mind, I don't know where Bennet will be exactly.

i would assume maybe a gunner on the punt team, because coaches want someone who can get down to the returner as soon as possible incase of a muffed punt, or a gunner on kickoffs.

just what i would assume, no basis or facts

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

You would think that since Riddick is a starter that he would have Wood and Jackson back there...
