Bennett's high school coach, Kyle Hockman, said Bennett was one of the best kids he's ever coached.

"I'm sure you want to talk about Rajaan on the football field, but I promise he's a better person than he is a player," Hockman said when Bennett signed with Vanderbilt. "He has a great head on his shoulders, a guy that has been the man in his household for quite a while, yet still worked to maintain a solid GPA in class and become such a great player.

"Rajaan is both humble and hard working. He's a guy that is very respected by his teammates and the McEachern community. I think the world of this young man," Hockman said.

This was said before the murder and really says a lot about the kid. So sad.
