Benjamin announced late last night that he is now focusing on Georgia, Miami, Ohio State, Oregon, Washington, UCLA, and USC.
Standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing 180 pounds, the highly sought-after defensive back from [High School Name, City/State] has been turning heads with his exceptional athleticism, speed, and game-changing abilities in coverage. Ranked as one of the top cornerbacks nationally, Benjamin has garnered offers from nearly every major program in the country.
“This decision was incredibly tough, but these seven schools have shown me everything I’m looking for in a program,” Benjamin said in a statement. “Each offers a great combination of academics, coaching, and the opportunity to compete at the highest level.”
