Georgia Southern adds two in-state commits

Georgia Southern received verbal commitments via Twitter from two recruits in wide receiver Jordan Bennett and kicker/ punter Dylan Lewis on Saturday for the 2020 season.

Bennett, from Pelham, Georgia, plays cornerback and receiver at his school, while also being a valuable asset on the basketball team. He had a lengthy recruiting process, where he received offers from Sun Belt rival Troy, along with Air Force, Mercer and Tennessee State, among others.

The 6-foot-1 receiver racked up 725 yards and 14 touchdowns during his junior campaign. On defense, he accumulated 16 solo tackles and assisted 12. On the basketball court, he averaged about 11 points per game while playing at the varsity level for all three years.
