Hayden Benoit is a freshman spark plug giving Grambling a steady hand under center
In the 2025 season, Hayden Benoit emerged as a true freshman QB who threw for 674 yards, 6 touchdowns and 3 interceptions on 54.1% passing, including a breakout 220-yard, 4-TD start in Grambling’s win over Bethune-Cookman.[1][4][9][12] At 6-foot-1, 205 pounds, he brings enough size to withstand contact, and the bigger story is his poise: Grambling trusted him late in the season after injuries forced the Tigers to their fourth different quarterback, which says a lot about his composure and readiness.[1][11][15] He looks like a fit if you want a young passer with upside, toughness and quick-reaction moxie more than polished, finished-product consistency.[1][11]
