Tampa Bay Tech wide receiver Richard Benjamin will take an unofficial visit the University of Florida this weekend. The impressive junior wide receiver has Florida listed as one of his top five schools and says that he really likes the atmosphere of The Swamp on Saturdays.

Wide receivers coach Aubrey Hill is recruiting Benjamin and the two have built a bond, says Benjamin who holds 26 offers.

“He told me that I could be a big part of Florida with my overall size and ability and that I could really be able to help Florida,” Benjamin said of Hill. “We talked about how I could get the ball and how I would be effective.”

The Tampa Bay Tech junior is competing in track during the offseason to keep himself fresh, but says that track is more than just staying in shape.

“My goals for track are to make it to state in the 4×1 and 200 meter. After track I’m just going to work hard to get better on the football field.”

Benjamin is regarded as one of the top-are wide receivers in the 2013 class. He has however flirted with the idea of playing on the defensive side of the ball. He says that he wants to showcase his versatility and would play anywhere on the field.

“I would be going as a wide receiver to Florida, but it really doesn’t matter to me,” he said. “USF has talked about allowing me to play both ways, but they’re the only school.”

Benjamin’s speed will be something to keep an eye on as his track season progresses. He already has good hands and body control – getting faster before his senior year will only make him a higher priority.
