Junior College Linebacker Xavier Benson Commits to Oklahoma State

Signing Day is drawing near, but the Cowboys’ staff is still making plays.

Xavier Benson committed to Oklahoma State on Saturday. Benson played this past season at Tyler Junior College, but he previously spent time at Texas Tech. He had offers from Indiana, Kansas, Memphis and others.

Listed at 6-foot-3, 211 pounds, Benson had 115 total tackles for Tyler this season including 15.5 tackles for loss.

Benson initially went to Tech as part of the Red Raiders’ 2018 recruiting class. He redshirted in 2018 before working his way to being a 10-game starter as a redshirt freshman in 2019.
