Iowa State’s ball-hawking veteran DB
Ter'Ran Benton is remembered as a clutch, high-IQ defensive back whose biggest calling card was playmaking in big moments—most famously a momentum-swinging interception in Iowa State’s 2011 upset of No. 2 Oklahoma State. He brings veteran poise, strong instincts, and a nose for the football, making him the kind of defender coaches trust when the game gets chaotic. If you want a DB who can read, react, and rise in pressure situations, Benton fits the bill; the catch is that the publicly available info is mostly from his earlier Iowa State career, so current performance data is limited.
