'13 FL RB Derrick Henry (Bama commit)

I know there aren't many 2013 threads but this guy is a special talent. As of now we have him as the best prospect in Fl for 2013. Yes I know things can change but this kid is the real deal and will set many Fl records before he is done.

He plans to hit many camps this summer and Tenn is a name that has been mentioned.

Probably a silly question, but any relation to Travis?

How do you rate him in comparison to Kelvin Taylor?

I knew someone would say that but I have seen him in a few tough games against Bolles and University Christian and he was just as dominant. BTW 2B in Fl is like 4A in most states. I dont think you have ever seen him. A generic argument.

He is a different kind of back than Kelvin Taylor and is a lil better prospect IMO.

watched him play against UC, Forest and TC. He put up good numbers against Bolles/UC but he was average in the games were they stepped up a class or faced better overall talent....Trinty Cath and Forest. Also, 2B would be 3A ball at best in most states...he's plays mabe 2-3 good teams a year until he reaches the playoffs. any other FL prospect you need better info on?

he will grow out of the rb position if hes already 6'3" 220. plus he runs extremely upright. only reason he can get away with not running low behind his pads is because of that height. will be interesting to see what position he ultimately ends up at. kevin taylor is better imo.

First off, there is no way you traveled five hours multiple times to see this cat play. LIE!

Second, your ego and ignorance shines brighter than the Fl sun. You absolutely have nothing on me when it comes to Fl athletes. You are barking up the wrong tree here my friend. I do this for a living. There are 73 contracts from elite programs that would highly disagree with you. The fact that you want to be the know all about Fl is a joke. Do your homework and you will see that 2B ball in Fl has the same size programs as 4A La, Miss, Al, and so on.

You are in my territory not the other way around. You read stories and listen to radio shows gathering your knowledge from our company dip#^&*. There is nobody in the country that knows more about Fl football than we do! Get off your high horse and accept the fact that you are in shark water and we gobble up yuppies.
