Austin Benigni is the driving force behind one of the Naval Academy's most successful basketball programs in recent years. A native of The Woodlands, Texas, who attended The Woodlands Christian Academy and led his high school squad to consecutive state titles before being named Private High School Player of the Year by the Houston Chronicle, Benigni arrived at Navy in 2022 and became the first freshman in a decade to post a 20-and-5 game for the Midshipmen. By his junior year he led the Patriot League in scoring at 18.8 points and free throw percentage at 85.6%, earning first-team All-Patriot League honors. He entered the transfer portal after that season but withdrew and returned for his senior year — a decision that paid off as he is averaging over 18 points and shooting nearly 46 percent from three in 2025-26 while also earning a place on the Patriot League All-Academic Team as a computer science major.
