Benson Mayowa
Benson Babatunde Mayowa (born August 3, 1991) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive end in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Idaho Vandals. Mayowa played in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals, Oakland Raiders, and Seattle Seahawks.
Mayowa attended Inglewood High School, where as a senior defensive end, he had 75 tackles, 11 sacks, and one interception, while receiving All-league and second-team all-California Interscholastic Federation honors.
After not being heavily recruited because of his academic grades, he accepted a football scholarship from the University of Idaho. He was a backup defensive end as a true freshman, registering 6 tackles (2 for loss), one sack and one quarterback hurry. The next year he made 25 tackles (4.5 for loss), 3 sacks, one quarterback hurry, 2 passes defended, 3 forced fumbles and one recovered.
As a junior, he started 6 out of 10 games (missed 2 with an injury), posting 17 tackles (4.5 for loss), 3 sacks, 5 quarterback hurries, 2 passes defended, 2 forced fumbles and one recovered.
As a senior, he started 8 out of 11 games, making 22 tackles (7 for loss), 3 sacks, 4 quarterback hurries, one pass defended and 3 forced fumbles. He finished his college career with 45 games, 67 tackles (47 solo), 11 sacks, 11 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries.
On May 13, 2013, he was signed by the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent, after participating on a tryout basis at their rookie minicamp. He played in the first two regular season games and was declared inactive for the rest of the season, as the Seahawks rotated their multiple defensive ends.
On August 30, 2014, he was waived by Seattle during their final roster cuts.
On August 31, 2014, Mayowa was claimed off waivers by the Oakland Raiders. On December 7, he recorded his first NFL career sack on quarterback Colin Kaepernick in a win against the San Francisco 49ers. He finished the season playing in all 16 regular-season games, while starting in 1, with 14 tackles and one sack.
