FORT COLLINS – Jake Bennett has always had plenty of green and gold in his closet. The senior center not only grew up rooting for the Rams, but also played his high school ball at Bear Creek.
But did Bennett honestly think he’d be a key contributor for what’s now one of the more prolific offenses in the country?
“Nope,” Bennett responded with a laugh. “Growing up, I was always a CSU fan. But it never really occurred to me that this was a possibility. It’s been kind of a dream come true ever since then.”
Though Bennett earned All-Colorado first time honors as a senior in 2012, he didn’t start talking with college coaches until later in his high school career.
