Four-star Allen, Texas, 2018 running back Kirby Bennett was at the Rivals250 Underclassmen Challenge Presented by Under Armour on the second weekend of June, getting in some work before he turned his focus to an ambitious visit schedule heading into the fall.

Besting his his showing in the Kansas City event of the Rivals Camp Series Presented by Under Armour, Bennett was one of the most consistent running backs at the national camp and excelled in 1-on-1 reps. Not long after the camp, Texas Tech came through with his fourth offer, joining Colorado, SMU and Ole Miss.

The Red Raiders jumping in on Bennett’s recruitment come ahead of his plans to visit some prominent programs. He chose to reschedule a visit to Ohio State in order to make the Underclassmen Challenge, and the Buckeyes join several regional and SEC teams on the shortlist of his expected visits.
