Contents

Henderson attended Cretin-Derham Hall High School and originally signed a letter of intent to play college football at the University of Southern California, [3] but was granted release from his commitment by Coach Lane Kiffin in July 2010 and eventually committed to the University of Miami. [4]

Early life

Henderson was considered the top overall player in his class by a number of recruiting services; Rivals.com named him their 2008 Junior of the Year, [5] while USA Today named him to their All-American First-Team as one of only two juniors. [6] Henderson made the All-USA team in 2009 again, and was also named Offensive Player of the Year, the first lineman to do so in the 28-year history of the award. [7] Tom Lemming called him "a cross between Jonathan Ogden and Orlando Pace," two of the best offensive tackles in the NFL in the 2000s; [8] Sports Illustrated called him "probably the most polished lineman of the past decade". [9]

He was also featured in a July 2008 issue of Sports Illustrated, profiling young athletes poised to star in their sports, alongside Taylor Hall and Jeremy Tyler. [10]

In 2009, Henderson helped Cretin-Derham Hall to a 5A state championship and was named Minnesota Player of the Year by the Associated Press . It's believed to be the first time the annual award has gone to a lineman. [11]

A two-sport star, Henderson also played basketball. [1] He played for the "Howard Pulley Panthers" on the AAU circuit alongside Harrison Barnes, one of the nation's top basketball prospects. [12] Henderson also threw shot put and discus and won the 1,500 meter race walk, shot put, and discus in the USATF 2004 Minnesota Junior Olympics Outdoor Championships.

Recruiting

After unofficial visits to Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and Michigan State, he acknowledged that Michigan was his early favorite. [13] In the summer of 2009, Henderson took unofficial visits to Florida State, Florida, Ohio State, Tennessee, Southern California, and UCLA. At that point, Notre Dame, USC, Ohio State and Michigan were mentioned as leading contenders. Henderson's former Cretin-Derham Hall teammate Michael Floyd was playing for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Henderson scheduled his fifth and final official recruiting visit to the University of Miami for the 2010 Pro Bowl weekend in late January. He had already made official visits to USC, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Florida. [14]

Henderson announced his college decision on Tom Lemming's television show on CBS College Sports on National Signing Day. [15] He verbally committed to the Trojans, but did not sign his letter of intent until after USC went before the NCAA infractions committee on February 19 to respond to allegations relating to a scandal involving Heisman Trophy-winning tailback Reggie Bush. [16] Henderson finally signed his letter of intent on March 22, 2010. [3] When the NCAA rendered its decision banning USC from postseason play for two years and imposing severe scholarship reductions, Henderson asked to be released from his commitment to USC. Henderson was released from his commitment to USC on July 6, 2010. [17]

On July 9, 2010, Henderson announced his decision to attend the University of Miami, which had always been his "second choice", according to his father. [4]

College career

Two children in the car were transported to the hospital. Henderson received a concussion. Henderson was cited for driving with an expired license and running a red light. Henderson missed the first twelve Miami Hurricane practices while recovering from the concussion. [22]

In the 2012 season, Henderson started seven games at right tackle for the Hurricanes. [23] He was an honorable mention on the All-Atlantic Coast Conference team. Henderson opted to remain at Miami rather than make himself eligible for the 2013 NFL draft. [24]

After the 2013 season, Henderson was once again named an honorable mention on the All-Atlantic Coast Conference team. [25] He was demoted to backup for three games and suspended for one. [26]

Henderson was invited to the 2014 Senior Bowl. Before the game, he admitted that marijuana use led to his three suspensions from the University of Miami football team. "I'm just being honest with every (NFL) team and letting them know exactly what the situations were, and that I'm putting all the negative things behind me moving on to the next level," he said. "I want to be a starter and play in the NFL." [27]
