OSU linebacker Xavier Benson amidst a chaotic week in the transfer portal that saw the program lose numerous contributors took to social media on Thursday to share a message of support and encouragement for fans.
Speaking on behalf of @CowboyFB and the recent events that have brought concern and conflict to the fan base, and players included. Know this, not everyone sees EYE TO EYE and that is OKAY it’s called being a man and making your own decisions to benefit your ideals,” he said on Twitter. But in saying this @CoachGundy and my coaching staff has a plan of action, and the players that choose to stay will continue to fight for this program and keep moving forward and stay L&T #gopokes #saddleup“
Benson was a mainstay in the middle of OSU’s defense this season and figures to be a key piece of the puzzle again in 2023.
