Hutchinson Community College Wide Receiver Malik Benson has been racking up offers from power programs since the calendar turned to 2022.
On Monday, he added one more.
Arkansas joined the lengthy list of programs to extend a scholarship offer to Benson, a 6-foot-1, 170-pound wide receiver. Benson announced the offer via Twitter.

The Arkansas offer comes just one day after Oregon offered, and four days after fellow SEC program Auburn gave him an offer.
Benson tells On3Sports’ Jeremy Crabtree that when it comes to choosing a school, he has two main criteria to follow:
“I’m looking for a place that feels like a family and is really going to develop me to get to the next level,” said Benson following his offer from Oregon.
Benson broke program records for Hutchinson in receiving last season with 1,229 yards on 43 catches with 11 touchdowns. Because of that, many major programs are taking notes, and want Benson to join their squads. According to On3 Sports, Benson had just two offers heading into January from South Dakota and Texas Tech, but has now collected 14 more offers in two months.
