The Jacksonville Jaguars today signed fifth-year wide receiver Arrelious Benn, first-year kicker Derek Dimke and first-year safety Jeremy Deering to reserve/future contracts, the club announced.

A native of Washington, D.C., Benn played three seasons at Illinois where he compiled 159 catches for 2,221 yards and seven touchdowns while also serving as a return specialist.  He had 62 rushes for 282 yards and three touchdowns.  Benn left school with 3,613 all-purpose yards, the fourth-most in school history and his 159 receptions ranks fifth.  He was a Parade All-American at Dunbar High School where he was ranked as the No. 2 receiver in the country by Rivals.com

Dimke was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by Detroit in 2012, but was waived during final cuts. He has spent time with the New York Jets, Tampa Bay and New Orleans, but has never made the 53-man roster. The Rockford, Ill. native played collegiately at Illinois and is the most accurate kicker in the school's history, converting on 84.8 pct. of his FG attempts (39 of 46).  Dimke set a new school record for consecutive PATs made (89) without a miss, and finished his Illinois career sixth all-time in scoring with 206 points. Dimke attended Boylan (Rockford, Ill.) High School and set the state playoff record with a 54-yard FG conversion.
