SI ALL-AMERICAN EVALUATION

Henderson is the total package at the running back position. He has breakaway speed, balance, vision, patience and gaudy production to his name. A playmaker downhill or in space, he has the chance to be a freshman superstar at the next level with legitimate Sunday upside. Henderson is the clear top running back prospect in the class of 2021.

JOHN GARCIA, SI ALL-AMERICAN, ON HENDERSON

The top overall running back in the country without considerable contention, Henderson boasts true classic RB1 traits on tape. He is built to push the crease with lower-body power, balance and a burst few can match. Efficient with the ball in his hands, there is also a decisiveness whether pushing inside or out, complemented with breakaway speed. Henderson told us he focused on adding mass and rounding out his game as a pass-catcher in 2020.
