Incredibly grateful to get the opportunity to start all 12 games of my freshman year. Had a total of 120 snaps, 2 tackles with 2 assists. Thankful for my coaches, teammates, trainers, managers, and support staff. Achieving a dream just made me hungry for more.
The defense dominated early, the offense had a counterpunch, and the kicking game was nearly perfect at Alabama A&M's first fall camp scrimmage.
"Offense got hit in the mouth a little bit early. I thought they came back and responded"

Thankful for all the coaches who gave me an opportunity to play for their programs! Excited that I’ll be continuing my academic & football journey at Alabama A&M University! It will be a privilege to play for @coach_sam_shade and Coach Amos Jones. Proud to #BeADawg#GloryToGod
Honored to receive the 24’ Special Teams Player of the Year Award for Tuscaloosa County High! I thank God for giving me the opportunity to play these 4 years. Thankful for my coaches and teammates and for my dad @MichaelBender30 for all he’s taught me. Incredibly blessed.
