Kolbe Benham brings starter-level tackling and secondary stability to Marist
Benham is a veteran Marist safety who is already producing in the box, with 10 total tackles in the Red Foxes’ 2026 opener against Georgetown after being noted as a starter in the secondary; the value is his reliability, physical run support, and game-to-game willingness to clean up plays rather than chase highlights. He looks like a fit for a team that wants an experienced, assignment-sound defensive back who can handle contact, set the tone, and steady a back end under pressure.
