Florida State's Trey Benson to enter NFL draft, skip Orange Bowl

Florida State running back Trey Benson will enter the NFL draft and will not play in the Capital One Orange Bowl for the Seminoles, he announced Sunday.

Benson, who rushed for 905 yards and 14 touchdowns this season while averaging 5.8 yards per carry, is the No. 2-rated rushing back by ESPN NFL Draft Insider Mel Kiper Jr.

"I cannot begin to express how valuable my two years here have been, especially the relationships I've made with teammates, coaches, athletic training, academic staff and the whole FSU family," Benson said in an announcement posted to X (formerly Twitter).
