Florida State added another transfer wide receiver to its 2024 roster with the commitment of Alabama wide receiver transfer Malik Benson. He was the top-rated overall prospect coming out the junior college ranks in 2023 out of Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College.

Benson, 6-1 and 195-pounds, played in 14 games for the Crimson Tide this past season where he totaled 13 catches for 162 yards and one touchdown.

“I am fired up to have Malik joining our program. He’s an explosive playmaker who brings elite-level speed and quickness to the receiver position," FSU head coach Mike Norvell said of Benson. "Malik was one of the top players in the country coming out of junior college and he showcased a tremendous skillset as a starter for a Power 5 conference champion. His attributes on film will be showcased at a high level here with our offense as he is primed to take the next step in his career here at Florida State.”

As a freshman for Hutchinson, Benson caught 43 passes for 1,229 yards and 11 touchdowns. As a sophomore he hauled in 923 yards on 54 receptions and ten touchdowns.
