Who Is Naomi

Naomi Benson is a 19-year-old D1 athlete, business major, and content creator from Streetsboro, Ohio. After setting high school records across five categories, she was recognized as an Ohio Ms. Basketball finalist and McDonald's All-American nominee before enrolling at Illinois and now transferring home to join the Cincinnati Bearcats.

Her brand is built on three pillars: faith, hard work, and authenticity. She speaks openly about her Christian faith, her family (brothers Noah and Nehemiah both play college ball), and her growth on and off the court. Her content resonates especially with young women in sports, faith communities, and the Ohio/Midwest market.
