Deago Benson’s a compact, explosive SFA back with upside
Deago Benson entered Stephen F. Austin as a transfer from Vanderbilt and, in the 2024 season, logged 17 carries for 94 rushing yards plus 11 punt-return yards, showing legit multi-phase value in a 5-foot-11, 205-pound frame[1][7]. He looks like a “juice” back: sturdy, active, and versatile enough to help on offense and special teams, which matters for a program that wants toughness and hidden yardage. The tape-and-roster profile suggests a lower-profile mover with college-ready build and adaptability, making him a fit if you want depth, energy, and role flexibility more than hype[1][5][9].
