Former BYU recruit arrested in Dallas killing

[BigCougsFan]

Bennett was one of four 2004 BYU football recruits charged in the August 2004 rape of a 17-year-old girl in a Provo apartment. The incident occurred at an off-campus party involving incoming freshmen one night before the players began fall football camp.

I'm not surprised one bit... What a frickin' tool! I'm glad he left the program after that.

I forgot the names of the other three who were involved with the rape incident. Can anyone remember them, what position they played, how good they were, etc...???

Too bad. I had hoped that those guys had made good, because it really was a black eye for BYU when that went down. Not that BYU did anything wrong, but the misperception that some black athletes were singled out for this. They weren't, but I know it was an issue in that community for a couple for years after this.

Some of the athletes also accused the Honor Code of providing information they felt was shared in confidence, with the police.

That coupled with Crowton leaving, multiple athletes transferring. Ugly year for the Y.
