The VU part of the press release below... very happy for Earl Bennett, he's such a class act.


VANDERBILT – Earl Bennett, Wide Receiver, 2005-07

In just three seasons with Vanderbilt, Earl Bennett became the SEC’s all-time leading receiver with 236 receptions, 28 more than any other SEC pass catcher at the time. An All-American in 2005 and a three-time All-SEC honoree, he left the Commodores after the 2007 season with numerous team receiving records and All-America honors. He became the only receiver in SEC history with 75 receptions or more in three consecutive seasons. Bennett was a third round draft choice by the Chicago Bears in 2008 and played seven seasons in the NFL. He retired after the 2014 season, then returned to Vanderbilt where he completed requirements to earn his degree in the summer of 2015.
