Oklahoma State Signees Tabbed JUCO All-Americans

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State signed two JUCO prospects in the 2022 class, both of which who received JUCO All-America honors this week.

New Mexico Military Institute offensive lineman Tyrone Webber and Tyler Junior College linebacker Xavier Benson were both tabbed NJCAA First Team All-Americans this week. This marks the second year in a row Webber has earned the distinction, which comes a few days after he helped win the first national title in NMMI program history after they upset No. 1 Iowa Western, 31-13.

The Most Valuable Player of the championship game was NMMI running back, Anthony Grant, who had 194-yards rushing and a touchdown, as well as a touchdown reception. Webber had some huge blocks all night which help spring Grant. Webber was also the Southwest Junior College Football Conference MVP for the season, which is a rare honor for an offensive tackle. The 6-4, 290-pound Webber is a force on the field and will be at Oklahoma State for the spring semester.

As for Benson, he earned Defensive Player of the Year honors in the Southwest Junior College Football Conference following the season. He finished the year with 120 tackles, two interceptions, a force fumble and fumble recovery.

He began his career at Texas Tech where he recorded 57 tackles, four tackles for loss and a sack his redshirt freshman season before transferring to Tyler JC. Benson is a major pick up for the Pokes as he should be able to come in and make an immediate impact in a position group that’s losing both Malcolm Rodriguez and Devin Harper.
