Aggie football recruiting, moderated. Post responsibly and with respect for players and coaches. Rumors and speculation should be clearly labeled as such.
Henderson is a disruptive presence inside. He has good size and should be able to add more bulk. Grabs your attention with his get-off at the snap. His hat often is the first one moving. Has the quickness to shoot gaps and get penetration. Comes off the ball low and has the power to push a blocker back. Flashes the ability to use his hands to shed, but needs to improve in this area. Creates a push and can be disruptive, but doesn't consistently bring his hands and create separation. Sometimes struggles to get off blocks. Has a nice motor for a big man. Hustles around, gets downfield and makes some effort plays. Shows solid straight-line speed, but appears to be a fairly upright runner who is a little stiff on the move. Moves well laterally in the trenches. He's a solid wrap-up tackler. Can get under a blocker?s pads on the pass rush and create a push to collapse the pocket. Has the burst off the ball to beat a blocker and get in a quarterback's face. Excels at getting to a blocker's shoulder and playing half a man. Needs to be more active with his weapons and learn to separate and finish. Has the ability to pressure, but misses some plays because he has some trouble getting off blocks. Could stand to add bulk, but should be a disruptive college defender if he puts on another 20 pounds and maintains his quickness. Henderson should create problems for opponents that allow his teammates to make plays at the next level. With some refinement, he could provide some playmaking value himself.
From the A&M site. Henderson is still committed to Texas A&M and happy with his choice, but he is still checking out some other places just to do his research and make sure he is 100%. He says he is up to 6-3 and 260 lbs.
