Our Mascot: Benji "The Ram"

Not Your Average Goat

Benji the Ram

Who is Benji?

Meet Benji, the adorable pet goat of Round Rock SC’s owners, Edgar and Janna. Raised from a newborn, Benji quickly became part of the family — learning tricks, responding to his name, and even knocking on doors! As he grew, Benji embraced his adventurous spirit and found his true home on the ranch among other goats, where he now leads the herd with pride.

Way to go, Benji!

How Did We Choose the Ram?

Before the Round Rock Multipurpose Complex was built, our players trained at the same ranch fields where Benji lived. He quickly became a favorite among the team. As our UPSL season approached in 2018, we held a poll to decide on a club mascot. One creative voice suggested dressing Benji as a Ram — and the community loved the idea!

After an overwhelming vote, the Ram officially became our club mascot, with Benji leading the charge. Today, he stands as a symbol of strength, heart, and the spirit of Round Rock SC.
