Ohio State 2011-2012 DT - Michael Bennett (National Champion)

​

 

Three Buckeyes accept Senior Bowl invitations
Three Ohio State players have accepted invitations to the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. Defensive tackle Michael Bennett, cornerback Doran Grant and tight end Jeff Heuerman will participate in the Jan. 24 all-star game, which is a showcase for NFL prospects.

Bennett, a possible first-round pick, is third on the team with 12 1/2 tackles for loss. He had four such tackles in the 59-0 victory over Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game.

Grant is tied for the team lead with five interceptions and leads with nine pass breakups. He had two interceptions in the Wisconsin game. Late in the season, he was given the responsibility of covering the opponent's top receiver.

Heuerman was slowed early this season by a lingering foot injury sustained last year. He had 17 catches for 207 yards and two touchdowns and was an effective blocker.

Michael Bennett says Oregon has to "get out of the mindset of just getting us fatigued. We're a very in shape team."
