Benjamin, a 4-star recruit out of high school, made a name for himself at Arizona State. During his sophomore season in 2018, he broke the school record for rushing yards in a game. During his junior season, he rushed for more than 1,000 yards and scored 10 touchdowns. After deciding to forgo his senior season, he was drafted in the seventh round of the NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals. He scored his first career touchdown last season.
