HUTCHINSON,
Kan. —
Hutch CC standout wide receiver Malik Benson is headed to Alabama.
The Kansas native announced his decision Tuesday on Instagram, saying he is "100 percent committed."
Benson is considered the No. 1 JUCO recruit in the 2023 class after a dominant year at Hutchinson Community College, per 247Sports. He finished last season with 43 catches for 1,229 yards and 11 touchdowns in 11 games.
After he was unrated as a high school player, Benson received over two dozen scholarship offers after one year in JUCO. He was recently named the 2022 Greater Wichita Sports Commission Junior College Male Athlete of the Year.
The 6'1", 185-pound player eventually chose Alabama over Georgia, LSU, Oregon and Tennessee.
