Summary
Lee Benson, the legendary Deseret News sports columnist who chronicled Utah’s athletic rise for decades, is finally getting his due—inducted into the Utah Sports Hall of Fame this fall. From the Jazz’s NBA glory to BYU’s football dynasty, Benson didn’t just report games; he turned them into unforgettable stories, blending drama, humor, and humanity. With fourteen Utah Sportswriter of the Year awards and a career spanning from high school hoops to Olympic moments, his stream-of-consciousness style made every column feel fresh, funny, and deeply human. Though his path into journalism was accidental, his impact was anything but—proving that sometimes the best careers are the ones you stumble into.
