CLEMSON – Yes, LaVonta Bentley wants to hit opposing players as hard as he can. He lives for the big hit. But the biggest hit of all would be making the NFL and taking care of his mother.
Bentley enters 2022 credited with 52 tackles (8.5 for loss), 4.5 sacks, two pass breakups and two forced fumbles in 254 defensive snaps across 27 career games (two starts). He started the Georgia Tech game last season in place of Baylon Spector – a late scratch – and wound up with a game-high 13 tackles.
Bentley is known for his hard-hitting, and he has a favorite hit that always brings a smile to his face.
