Kamdyn Benjamin News, Rumors, Updates - Tulsa Golden Hurricane

Shut down versus ECU Benjamin gathered in 3 of 8 targets for 11 yards during Thursday's 38-31 loss to East Carolina.

Impact Benjamin had by far his worst outing of the season Thursday as he gained just 16 yards from scrimmage, easily his fewest this season. He was still targeted eight times -- he has been targeted at least seven times in every game this season -- however he and Cooper Legas were just not in sync. He will look to bounce back next Saturday at South Florida.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Back to normal versus UAB Benjamin reeled in 6 of 11 targets for 58 yards during Saturday's 59-21 loss versus UAB.

Impact Benjamin went for 125 yards and three touchdowns last week versus UTSA but was brought back down to earth Saturday versus UAB. He still had a decent performance as he saw 11 targets for the fourth time this season and caught six passes, something he has done in seven of his last eight games. The major downside to his performance was a lost fumble on a punt return in the first quarter, a mistake that allowed UAB to jump out to a 21-point lead.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Catches three TDs in comeback win Benjamin gathered in 7 of 15 targets for 125 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 46-45 victory against Texas-San Antonio.

Impact Benjamin was excellent in Saturday's win as he caught three touchdowns in the final 20 minutes to lead the comeback win. He scored a 74-yard touchdown in the third quarter to cut UTSA's lead to 18, then scored two touchdowns in the final two and a half minutes of the game to secure the improbable win. It marked the first time he found the end zone since Week 2. He also set a season high with 15 targets and caught seven passes for the fourth time in his last five games. Nearly all of his production came after Cooper Legas replaced Kirk Francis so if Legas starts Saturday at UAB, he will likely be looking for Benjamin quite a bit.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in Saturday's loss Benjamin accrued three receptions (on seven targets) for 29 yards during Saturday's 20-10 defeat against Temple.

Impact Although Benjamin saw seven targets for the seventh consecutive game Saturday, he recorded season lows in receptions and receiving yards. He has seen his receiving yards decrease in each of the last six games, a very concerning sign for the senior. The Golden Hurricane's passing offense has been struggling as of late, and Benjamin's production has taken a hit as a result.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Seven catches Saturday Benjamin posted seven receptions (on nine targets) for 44 yards during Saturday's 49-7 loss to Army.

Impact Given the fact that Benjamin's quarterbacks combined for just 109 passing yards Saturday, he had a fairly productive outing. He caught seven passes for the third straight game but set a season-low with 44 yards. Even though he's far and away the team's No. 1 option in the passing game, the questions surrounding the quarterback position and the overall struggles of the offense hurts Benjamin's upside, especially in standard formats.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Decent in blowout loss Benjamin hauled in 7 of 12 targets for 68 yards during Saturday's 52-20 defeat against North Texas.

Impact Benjamin was one of the lone bright spots in Saturday's loss as he saw a season-high 12 targets and went for over 65 yards for the fifth straight game. Starting quarterback Kirk Francis was benched after a disastrous first half and three different QBs played in the second half. The uncertainty around the Golden Hurricane's quarterback is not ideal for Benjamin, however he will likely be the No. 1 option no matter who is under center.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Another productive outing Saturday Benjamin recorded eight receptions (on nine targets) for 69 yards during Saturday's 23-20 overtime victory versus Louisiana Tech.

Impact Benjamin continued to be the Golden Hurricane's most productive receiver Saturday as he once again led the team in receptions, targets and yards. He has proven to have an extremely high floor as he has caught at least five passes (on at least seven targets) for at least 65 yards in every game this season. He is currently tied for 20th in the country in receptions and sits at 14th in receiving yards, and his numbers could improve as he heads into conference play.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Lone bright spot in loss Benjamin gathered in 6 of 9 targets for 94 yards during Saturday's 45-10 defeat versus Oklahoma State.

Impact Benjamin had a productive outing Saturday as he led the team in receptions, targets and yards and none of his teammates came close to his marks. Benjamin has had a very strong start to the season, catching 17 passes (on 27 targets) for 290 yards and three touchdowns. He is clearly the top option in the passing attack and has proved his ability to produce in that role.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent in Saturday's loss Benjamin hauled in 6 of 11 targets for 131 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 28-24 loss against Arkansas State.

Impact Benjamin left all other Tulsa receivers in the dust Saturday, leading his team by far in receptions, targets and yards. He also scored the only passing touchdown of the day, a 39-yarder in the second quarter. It's been a very strong start to the season for Benjamin and he will look to continue his great form this Saturday versus Oklahoma State.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent in Saturday's loss Benjamin hauled in 6 of 11 targets for 131 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 28-24 loss against Arkansas State.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in opener Benjamin recorded five receptions (on seven targets) for 65 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 62-28 win against Northwestern State.

Impact Benjamin picked up right where he left off last season, catching a 36-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, then scoring a 66-yard punt return touchdown two minutes later. He led the team with seven targets which is no surprise given the great connection he had at the end of last season with Kirk Francis, who was named the starting quarterback ahead of Thursday's opener. In Francis' three starts last season, Benjamin caught 22 passes (on 37 targets) for 393 yards and four touchdowns.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in opener Benjamin recorded five receptions (on seven targets) for 65 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 62-28 win against Northwestern State.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Ends season on a high note Benjamin compiled six receptions (on eight targets) for 143 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 29-27 win against East Carolina.

Impact Benjamin put together his second-best performance of the season Saturday, as he went for 143 yards including a 31-yard touchdown reception on the first drive of the game. Despite a slow start to the season, he ended up being quite productive, catching 47 of 75 targets for 727 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another productive outing Saturday Benjamin gathered in 8 of 16 targets for 93 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 35-28 defeat against North Texas.

Impact Benjamin is clearly quarterback Kirk Francis' favorite target as nearly half of Francis' passing attempts went to Benjamin. Francis has started the last two games for the Golden Hurricane and in those games Benjamin has 16 catches (on 29 targets) for 250 yards and three touchdowns. In his nine games before that, he had 25 catches (on 38 targets) for 334 yards and two touchdowns. Needless to say, if Francis starts in Saturday's season finale at East Carolina, Benjamin could end his season on a high note.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominant versus Tulane Benjamin hauled in 8 of 13 targets for 157 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 24-22 loss to Tulane.

Impact Benjamin put together by far his best outing of the season Saturday as he set season highs in receptions, targets, yards and touchdowns. All of his production came with freshman quarterback Kirk Francis under center as the pair displayed a nice connection despite rarely taking the field together. If Francis starts again Saturday versus North Texas, Benjamin could be in for another big game in a favorable matchup.

NOVEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in blowout loss Benjamin caught all four targets for 18 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 69-10 defeat versus Southern Methodist.

Impact Benjamin caught a five-yard touchdown pass from Cardell Williams in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 66-10. The garbage time score was his second touchdown of the season, both of which have come in his last two games.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores TD in blowout loss Benjamin caught three passes for 48 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's 42-10 loss versus Rice.

Impact Benjamin caught his first touchdown of the season Thursday, the Golden Hurricane's lone touchdown in the forgettable loss. While Benjamin's season high in receptions is an uninspiring four, he has been quietly consistent this season. Thursday marked his fifth consecutive game with at least 45 receiving yards. While his ceiling is not very high, the consistent floor gives him some value in deeper formats.
