He also contributed on special teams as a kick returner with five kickoff returns for 192 yards and a touchdown. Benson was named second-team All-ACC and made ACC Running Back of the Week four times.
Bell came in in as the No. 1 tight end transfer in the country out of South Carolina in the offseason. Nagy has him listed with 16 other tight ends after having a solid career with the Gamecocks. Coming off a season where he ranked ninth in the country of returning players at his position per Pro Football Focus, he had 25 receptions for 231 yards and two touchdowns while adding 261 yards on the ground and three scores in 2022.
