4'2" Wide Receiver Ricardo Benitez Will Walk on at Baylor University

4’2”100-pound wide receiver Ricardo Benitez was born without femurs and was told he may never walk, but that didn’t stop the Texas native from pursuing his dream of playing football.

After attending Baylor coach Matt Rhule’s football camp the 18-year-old committed to the school as a non-scholarship player. Benitez was about $20,000 short of being able to go to Baylor but has a GoFundMe campaign to help raise the funds
