About Benefield Updated Aug 17, 2026

Michael Benefield brings bowling-ball power and proven chain-moving juice for Kennesaw State

In the 2024 season, Michael Benefield led Kennesaw State with 542 rushing yards and 5 rushing touchdowns on 138 carries, showing he can handle volume and produce explosives, including a 112-yard game against Jacksonville State and a 98-yard effort against WKU.[4][9][10][12] The 5-foot-7, 205-pound redshirt senior has a low-center-of-gravity, contact-seeking running style and has already shown big-play pop, but the fit question is about durability and whether his relatively short frame can keep holding up to heavy work over a full season.[2][6][8]
