HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson Community College wide receiver Malik Benson has listed the Florida Gators as one of the 11 teams he will ultimately decide between to carry out the remainder of his college football eligibility. Benson, 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, is currently part of the 2023 recruiting class.
Last season, Benson hauled in 43 passes for 1,229 yards and 11 touchdowns with the Blue Dragons. He currently has 22 Division I offers, including from Florida that he received on March 1, and is one of the more highly-coveted junior college receivers in the nation.
Benson has one more year at the JUCO level before jumping to the Division I level, but that shouldn't be an issue.
Along with the Gators, Benson listed Alabama, Arkansas, LSU, Auburn, Georgia, Florida State, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon and Tennessee. That's seven different Southeastern Conference schools aside from Florida.
