Early years
Benji was born in Omaha, Nebraska. He led his high school team in receiving each year since he was a sophomore, finishing as his schools all-time receiving yardage leader. He was also a 3 sport athlete, playing baseball in the spring and basketball in the winter. These sports helped his develop a repetoire of skills that translated directly to the gridiron, such as high pointing the ball and tracking the deep ball. Both of his parents went to the University of Nebraska and so he was heavily recruited around the mid west as a star prospect. However, he followed his childhood hero, Eric Decker, to the University of Minnesota to play wide receiver for the Golden Gophers. His parents were dissatisfied with his decision and his long time girlfriend broke up with him, but it was his dream. Eventually, his parents warmed up to the idea since he was staying in the midwest but he never did get his high school sweet heart back.
College career
Hoping to make a splash on a Golden Gopher team that was depleted in offensive talent, Coach Fleck decided to redshirt the freshmen to allow Benji to fill out his growing frame. While not pleased with the decision, Benji made the most of the practices, nutrition plans, and team meetings. During the spring practice of his 2nd year, he hauled in 4 touchdowns on 5 catches, establishing his red-zone abilities. His touchdown prowess continued during his RS freshmen season as he led the team with receiving 10 TDs and earned All Freshmen honors in the country. His momentum carried into his RS sophomore season, as he opened the year with 3 touchdowns against South Dakota State. A minor ankle injury hampered his next 2 games, but he came up big against rival Wisconsin when he had 157 yards on 8 catches, along with 2 touchdowns. He would go on to help the Gophers win the Big Ten championship while leading the Gophers in catches, yards, and receiving touchdowns. His dream of making it to the ISFL was now in grasp.
