Personal

Born October 16, 2005... Son of Brain and Kathy Bennett... One brother, Evan, who wrestled at the University of Pennslyvania... Chose Illinois because "I chose Illinois because the coaching staff is the best in the NCAA. Coach Poeta and Coach Martinez were the first school to contact me on June 15 around midnight. The team is also amazing they made me feel like I was apart of the team already."
