Benji Nelson brings size, scoring touch, and JUCO production to Omaha
Benji Nelson looks like a useful modern forward for Omaha: a 6'8" Wahoo, Nebraska native who arrived after a productive junior-college stop at Northern Oklahoma, where he averaged 11.3 points and 3.5 rebounds in 2023-24 and started 16 games. His appeal is versatility and feel—he’s described as an unselfish, score-first point forward, suggesting he can create offense without needing to dominate the ball. For a roster, that mix of length, rebounding, and proven scoring gives him real value as a flexible frontcourt piece.
