IUFB 2024/25 Portalstravaganza

Kind of a curious background. Was at Fordham for 2 years and barely played. Transferred UP into the Sun Belt and started from day 1. Huh, don’t hear that one every day. Looks like he had the best game of his career against Cig/JMU in ‘23. 26-36 for 277 with 2 td’s no picks. So the staff and a bunch of the JMU kids have certainly seen him up close. 

Got hurt midway through the season and his back up played very well and won the job going forward. Smart move by the staff to get a solid back up with tons of experience.

Benson was a LT here in ‘23 and a RT at CU, correct? I seem to recall him looking the part but struggling a fair amount. Am I remembering him wrong? Regardless, if Bostad’s good with working with him again, that’s good enough.

I just read CU bounced him around the line a bit. Right guard, right tackle, and left guard. He got injured and played only 9 games there.

It looks like he allowed 2 sacks, 1 QB hit, 3 hurries on 405 snaps. 66.7 PFF grade.

Played RT here in 23 and think played on the the interior under Hiller. He’s a swing tackle but would guess he’s playing guard next year.

This might be a dumb question, but where do you find those blocking stats?

I read a site which had them as part of the short article talking about him entering the portal. They said these were CU's official stats.

I don’t follow football transfers/portal nearly as much as a lot of you- is it pretty unusual for a player to transfer back to their original school? I mean, nobody would’ve transferred back to IU football in the past few years, but….

I do not know how common it is, but it's common enough that I've head them called "boomerang transfers".
