Damn.

I believe he was out of collegiate eligibility and was unable to return to OBD even if he had wanted.

Gary Bryant Jr. is also out of eligibility after 6 seasons. He wasn't a lights out receiver but steady and reliable when needed, I think he's good enough to at least get onto a practice squad in the NFL somewhere.

Benson MIGHT have had an additional year as he was a JC athlete apparently. He would have had to petition for it and not guaranteed.

He was great this year and I wish him well.

Honestly didn't expect him back, but wish him well.

Thank you Malik Benson for stepping up big time this year!

Benson was everything I hoped he would be after seeing his first real game with us. I'm not sure Stewart really would go have produced any better than Benson did.

I really hope he played his way into the middle of the draft.
