The Kentucky coaching staff made sure to get in early on Mazeo Bennett before his stock inevitably blew up — which is exactly what’s happened over recent months.
Bennett is a 6-foot, 180-pound wide receiver out of Greenville, SC who is considered a four-star recruit and the No. 236 overall prospect in the class of 2024, according to the On3 Consensus. Kentucky was just the third Divison I school to extend an offer to the high school sophomore, which came back in October 2021. Current wide receivers coach Scott Woodward initially established a relationship, as did former offensive coordinator Liam Coen.
