"I've always wanted to have my own trading card," Benefield said. "When I was a kid, my dad, who played in the Canadian Football League, had his own cards, I thought it was just the coolest thing, and for it to happen now for me, it's just an amazing feeling. I'm so thankful for God watching over me and blessing me with great health and a great year last year, but this year I'm coming for it all. Thank you Bronco Nation. My love for you is strong. Let's keep this thing rolling!"
Boise State and Jacksons launched the first-of-its kind trading card set featuring Bronco football players in October 2022. The partnership expanded in February 2023 to include every team within Boise State Athletics.
"Thank you to Jacksons, and everyone involved in bringing the cards to life, and to Bronco Nation for the overwhelming response," Director of Athletics Jeramiah Dickey said. "The Jacksons trading cards are an incredible collectible for Bronco fans of all ages, especially a soon to be coveted card to celebrate the special player we have in Ashton. I am so proud to be part of a community that supports our student-athletes to the fullest extent."
The cards are created by Boise-based ONIT Athlete, the team name, image and likeness trading cards for collegiate athletics, Tuesday's announcement said.
"We're humbled by the Bronco community's overwhelming excitement each year as we release their team's trading cards," Jacksons Food Stores President Cory Jackson said. "Their response gets us excited about creating standout editions year after year with ONIT Athlete and BSU. We're pleased to feature the entire Bronco football team and we can't wait to see what the boys do on the blue this season."
