6-8 (almost 6-9), 290-pound West Potomac (Alexandria, VA) star offensive tackle Jimmy Bennett , a Washington Post first-team all-metro performer last season as a junior, is having a great time in his senior season. His team is off to a 5-0 start and he is playing well, thanks in large part to the chemistry his team has been able to build throughout this past off-season.
"I didn't do a lot of camps. I just think working with my teammates made me better," said Bennett, who plays offensive tackle and defensive end for West Potomac. He projects as an offensive tackle on the next level. "It gave all of us more sense of camaraderie. That makes playing easier. I trust them a lot. I always play better when I'm loose than when I'm stressed. I worked on a couple of things technique-wise this off-season, but I think mainly just working with my teammates helped me."
