Arkansas State's Kivon Bennett was long aware he'd be changing positions this offseason. It was a move he and Red Wolves Coach Butch Jones had planned upon his arrival in Jonesboro last spring. But knowing he would transition from defensive end to outsid e linebacker didn't necessarily make the shift easy for Bennett. He acknowledged throughout spring camp that he was still making mistakes and trying to "not bash [himself] too much" for them.Fast forward a few months and the preseason All-Sun Belt Conference selection said he believes he's in a much better place. "I'm where I need to be," Bennett told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette when asked about his position change. "I felt way more confident over the summer, even though we haven't had pads on. ..I know it's going to be different when the game comes. It's probably going to take me maybe the first game or so [to adjust], but I'm not too worried about it." Going into his final collegiate season, Bennett said he is hoping to cement himself as an N FL prospect, and there's a consensus both inside and outside the program that playing linebacker will give Bennett the best chance to reach that level. - Northwest Arkansas Times

Tennessee dismissed outside linebacker Kivon Bennett from the football team on Tuesday, hours after he was arrested during a traffic stop. "There is a standard our student-athletes are expected to uphold at Tennessee, and today's incident fell well short of that standard," coach Jeremy Pruitt said in a statement. Bennett was stopped Tuesday around 11:21 a.m. by campus police, who clocked him driving 59 mph in a 45-mph zone. The police report said an officer asked Bennett if he had marijuana in the vehic le and that Bennett said he did. Police reported finding more than 44 grams of marijuana, a scale, 58 plastic baggies and a loaded 9mm handgun, according to the police report. Having more than half an ounce of marijuana is a felony in Tennessee. Bennett is the son of Cornelius Bennett, who was the No. 2 pick of the 1987 NFL Draft and a five-time Pro Bowler. - AP College Football
