Benson is from Southaven, Mississippi. Despite being from Mississippi and in SEC country, he chose Indiana over schools that offered him scholarships such as Mississippi State, Kentucky, Ole Miss and others.
Benson, according to 247Sports, is a 3-star prospect for the 2020 class. He is now the 19th player to sign with Indiana for this next season.
