After declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft, former Indiana and Colorado right tackle Kahlil Benson joined the Call The Huddle podcast to talk his career so far as he gets ready for the next level. Following four years with the Hoosiers, Benson transferred to Colorado in 2024 before heading back to Indiana for a perfect campaign in 2025.

Through his final season with the Hoosiers, Benson played in all 16 games at right tackle while starting in 12, and said he took plenty away from the experience. The 6-foot-6, 320 pound native of Southaven, Mississippi showed he can match up against the best edge rushers in the nation, and will offer a valuable O-lineman to his next group at the NFL level.
