Oregon Ducks Wide Receiver Malik Benson discusses how the Ducks compare to other teams

Transcript

00:00Are there any specific with Lenny, any interactions that sold you as well that

00:06made you feel like when you decided to come here that this would ultimately be

00:09the right place for you?

00:11I noticed the recruiting process very stressful and things like that.

00:14But I was in the car with my family.

00:17I got brothers and sister and my mother.

00:19We were all in the car and on the car play we saw the phone call from Coach Lenny and

00:23just seeing my mom and siblings faces light up.

00:26That's when I was like, yeah, this is the spot I need to be at.

00:29How does Oregon's program compare?

00:32It's one of the best.

00:33I've been JUCO, Alabama, Florida State, things like that.

00:38So I would say we are doing the things that it takes to be a championship team.

00:44Do you feel like you carry a little bit of that maybe JUCO chip on your shoulder?

00:47Because you start off on a lower level, work your way, work your way,

00:50now you get to a place like that.

00:51How do you take from that first mentality when you first started into a situation

00:55like this at Oregon?

00:57I just wake up every single day blessed.

00:59I remember the days I was in JUCO, didn't have the facilities and things like that.

01:04So just being able to be in a place like here, Nike University, it's just very,

01:08it's just so much of a blessing just to be out here because this is where I started at.

01:15I think you could do the holidays.

01:25I don't know.

01:26I'm going to be out of here.
