Idaho Stampede News Release
BOISE, Idaho (November 18, 2014) - The Idaho Stampede announced today that the team has acquired free-agent forward Jerrelle Benimon. Forward Jack Cooley has been placed on the inactive list due to a thumb injury he sustained in last week's season opener.
Benimon (6-8, 245, Towson) played two years at Georgetown (2009-11) before transferring to Towson. During his junior season, Benimon averaged 17.1 points and 11.2 rebounds, earning him the Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year award. He returned to Towson for his senior year and was named the CAA Player of the Year for the second consecutive season, averaging 18.7 points and 11.2 rebounds.
The Warrenton, VA., native played with the Miami Heat at the NBA Summer League in Orlando and with the Denver Nuggets at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. After making Denver's preseason roster, he was waived on October 22.
Benimon will wear number 50 and is expected to travel with the Stampede this weekend for a double-header with the Los Angeles D-Fenders.
