Mazeo Bennett, a 4-star wide receiver recruit out of Greenville, South Carolina, has announced a commitment to play in the SEC.
Bennett committed to Tennessee, perhaps influenced by the Vols’ big win over Alabama on Saturday. Bennett is 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds. He is the No. 30 wide receiver in the class of 2024, and the No. 3 player in the Palmetto State, according to the 247Sports Composite.
Bennett also had Alabama, Georgia, Florida State, Miami, North Carolina and South Carolina as his finalists, but he made his commitment to Vols public Sunday during a ceremony on his birthday at Greenville High.
Bennett last visited Tennessee for the Florida game, and liked how he saw himself as a fit in the offense.
“I wanted to see how many times the receivers touch the ball,” Bennett told GoVols247. “I wanted to see how the receivers got utilized in the offense and how I could fit into playing receiver for that team. It was the on-field (performance), the coaching staff, the school itself. It was the all-around best place for me.”
