Israel Benjamin brings compact power and steady backfield utility for The Citadel
In the 2025 season, Israel Benjamin logged 28 carries for 80 rushing yards and no touchdowns for The Citadel, a modest box score that still hints at a tough, downhill runner with a 5-foot-9, 205-pound build and senior experience.[1][9] He’s the kind of back who fits a physical system: compact, experienced, and likely valued more for reliability, contact balance, and assignment discipline than splash plays. The snap count and role suggest depth-chart utility rather than star power, so he looks like a fit for a team needing a sturdy, low-drama rotational runner rather than a featured offensive engine.[1][9]
