Commits to Oregon Benson has committed to Oregon, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.

Impact Oregon's 2024 team went undefeated in regular-season action partly thanks to its receiver corps, two of their top three including Tez Johnson and Traeshon Holden. The former is out of collegiate eligibility, the latter has entered the 2025 NFL Draft. Even with a rising Justius Lowe, a possible comeback candidate in Gary Bryant and expected additions adding competition, Benson is no slouch by any means. The senior wideout showcased top WR potential during Florida State's 2024 season, during which he logged 25 receptions for 311 yards (12.4 averaged per reception) and one touchdown.

Participating in team practice Benson (foot) is participating in Florida State's team practice Wednesday, On3 reports.

Impact Benson participating in Florida State's latest practice indicates his foot has fully healed, even before the fall. The senior wideout transferred from Alabama, whose 2023 team benefited from his 13 receptions for 162 yards and one touchdown.
