De’Jon Benton, a former USC defensive lineman who was on New Mexico’s roster last season, is joining the Rainbow Warriors this spring semester. He will participate in the Warriors’ offseason conditioning program and spring training. The Warriors’ first spring practice is Feb. 3.
Benton will be reunited with former USC teammate Jamar Sekona. Sekona transferred to UH last year, and played in seven games in 2024, starting six, before suffering a season-ending knee injury.
Benton played in 35 games in five years at USC before transferring to New Mexico. He suffered torn biceps ahead of the 2024 season, and did not play in any games for the Lobos. UNM head coach Bronco Mendenhall accepted the Utah State job, prompting Benton to enter the transfer portal.
Benton, who is 6-1 and 270 pounds, has a season of eligibility remaining.
“I feel (Hawaii) could use my help just as that place can help me,” Benton said.

Benton played a lot at USC. I hope his torn biceps healed well. He could be a mainstay in the DL.

Re: New Mexico transfer DT De'Jon Benton commits
One and done, but that's the new NCAA football reality. He's from a great fb high school in CA, played at SC and had a great motor. Let's see if he has the hunger it takes to make a difference on the field and deliver for UH.uhwarriors wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 4:31 pm Benton played a lot at USC.
