After being "blown away" his first visit, he will attend Dawg Night. I think the relationship w/ Ramsey will help us even more.....UF is still the team to beat.

HG, he'll be top 10 overall next year...right? I personally think he should challenge Robert Nkemdichie for the top spot.

not sure about Top 10 bc he'll be list as an ATH like Wilder by some sites. But he'll be top 25 w/o question.

Probably;some will get it right...and some will get it wrong.

I hate when people compare Henry to Wilder. Henry is bigger and faster as a soph. than wilder as a senior. Not to mention their running styles are completely different.

Derrick Henry, RB, Yulee (Yulee, Fla.)
Henry was easily the top underclassman and arguably the top player in attendance. The 6-foot-2, 231-pound power back secured a 123.09 SPARQ Rating pushing him to the top of the pack in the chase for the SPARQ Rating National Championship. His 4.53-second 40 and explosive 38.5-inch vertical are the type of numbers that have college scouts flocking to the Class 2A school located outside of Jacksonville, Fla. With more than 50 offers in the bag Henry could be the most coveted player in the talent-rich Sunshine State for the class of 2013.

Marcus Dupree anyone? That may be stretching it but he could set records at UF.

I don't believe they are comparing the two as players, just both seem to project better at DE/OLB than RB in the long run.

Not the recruiting sites, just some people see Wilder and Henry and think all jumbo RBs are the same person.

In the SPARQ finale tonight at the Opening he ran an electronic 4.45 40 to go with a 38.5" vertical jump and 4.21 shuttle, oh and he's 6'3" 232 pounds.

Probably a silly question, but any relation to Travis?

Odds are good

I didn't know that about the powerball throw. That is even more impressive. That powerball throw aint no joke. It is harder than it looks.

And you think Henry and Jones will be playing college ball together? You're probably right...

I'm going to be more than content with UT and 2013 RB Keyante Green though.

Henry showed out at The Opening. His testing results were great. I am impressed with that 40 and his shuttle time. Collins destroyed it yesterday, but this guy is impressive for his size.

I wasn't a big fan of Henry's going into the summer but I watched the kid at the Miami 7 on 7...I'm sold. If you look at his numbers from The Opening he was right behind Collins in every event...at 235 pound its unreal.
