The 2024 draft class is already presumably one of the deeper classes for the running back position, and with Florida State running back Trey Benson coming out early and declaring for the draft, it just got even deeper.
Benson is an impressive talent with plenty of production to back it up. Over the last two seasons since joining the Seminoles, Benson has managed to find the end zone a whopping 24 times through the air and ground. His track record shows Benson is an explosive runner, averaging 6.2 yards per carry between the two seasons and establishing himself as one of the most explosive weapons on a dominant Florida State offense.

This season, he became the first FSU Seminole to rush for 200 yards in a game since Dalvin Cook in 2016.

A three-down back is rare in the modern NFL, but Benson fits the mold of everything you would want out of one. A bigger back who can catch the football and handle the primary load in just about any system. Expect Trey Benson to hear his name called within the first two rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft.
