Beniri T'Chawama (born June 4, 2023) is an American football offensive lineman who is currently playing as an offensive lineman for the Honolulu Hahalua (HON). He played college football for University of Oregon (ORE) and played as a running back .

Early years

Born and raised in Moroni, Comoros, Beniri T'Chawama found himself participating in multiple sports during primary education and secondary school such as football (soccer), basketball, and lacrosse just to name a few. However, Beniri often struggled with the competitive aspect to sports. When playing these sports, T'Chawama would find himself on the sidelines and making minimal, sometimes even negative impacts to the game when he stepped onto the field.

Things changed when T'Chawama first tried American football following a recommendation from his high school PE teacher. As a result of his reputation in other sports, Beniri was once again on the sidelines to start, but this time when he stepped on the field as an offensive lineman he was decent. He stood his ground with his tall and large frame and from that, he saw himself getting more playtime. His high school team still performed poorly overall, but it was then he decided to move away from his family to pursue a career in American football in the United States.

College career

Coming from Comoros, Beniri T'Chawama did no see himself as a desired player in the United States. Rather, he had to work his way up the system from the junior college program to the Division 1 program. His first team was with Iowa Central Community College. T'Chawama did not see much playtime there, but his short stints on the field must have garnered the liking of some Division 2 teams.

Following his time at Iowa Central, he moved onto Shepherd University where he played Division 2 football as a Shepherd Ram. Again, Beniri struggled to get on the field, but once again he found himself wanted by a Division 1 team playing for the Oregon Ducks of the University of Oregon. Here he played the rest of the college days, getting rather low minutes on the field, but making the most of the experience. Although Beniri was not the most impactful player on the field, he was always known as a team player in his college years.

Entering his 3rd season in the ISFL on the Honolulu Hahalua, Beniri T'Chawama is looking to continue his improvements as an offensive lineman on a Honolulu team that was looking to bounce back strong after a poor 2048 season. T'Chawama played a large role in the resurgence of the Hahalua as the team climbed the standings early with strong play from the young offensive lineman. These strong first couple of weeks is where Beniri pulled ahead over other offensive linemen in the league, proving himself to be one of the best. He recorded 14 pancakes in their week 4 game against the Colorado Yeti and this helped cement T'Chawama's best season since his 1st season in the league. by the end of the season, he had a career best of 133 pancakes and only 2 sacks allowed, placing him among the top 5 best offensive linemen in the league. In the playoffs, T'Chawama recorded a team-leading 19 pancakes with no sacks allowed, as the Honolulu Hahalua lose in the finals to the Chicago Butchers.
