BREAKING: JUCO WR Malik Benson commits to Alabama

Malik Benson announced his commitment to Alabama football Tuesday via Twitter.

Benson attends Hutchinson Community College in Kansas. He is the Crimson Tide’s eleventh 2023 commit, and he is the second JUCO prospect to give Alabama a verbal commitment, joining Justin Jefferson. The Kansas native chose Alabama over Georgia, Tennessee, LSU and Oregon.

The new Alabama commit jumped onto the recruiting scene after a successful freshman season at Hutchinson. He picked up his first offer in December, and Benson’s recruitment quickly took off. The Tide offered Benson in March, and they made a strong push for him the following months.

The JUCO prospect was a serious weapon as a freshman. He finished the 2021 football season with 43 receptions 1,229 yards and 11 touchdowns with his impressive route-running skills and acceleration after the catch. He explosive speed has been verified as he once clocked in at 10.44 while running the 100-meter dash as a senior in high school.
