CB- C.J. Henderson

BIO – 6’1, 179lbs, Christopher Columbus High School, Miami, FL

Rank– ESPN (4 star #10 ranked athlete, ESPN TOP 300), 247 (4-star, .9357 Sports Rating)

Analyis: Henderson is an exceptionally fast prospect with a 40 time of 4.35.  ESPN listed Henderson as an athlete. That puts him at most of the skills positions on the field. DeeJay Dallas who has already enrolled at the U is also listed as an athete.

Henderson was selected as an Under Armour All-American. Current Columbus teammate and Miami commit Trajan Bandy said it best when he was quoted in an interview with 247Sports.

"“He is long and he is blazing fast. He has crazy make-up speed.  He can play man-to-man.  He is everything you are looking for in a cornerback.”"

Henderson saw the field as a wide receiver and running back while at Columbus, but many believe his ultimate future is at defensive back.

Prediction: 50/50 Miami vs. Florida battle.  Henderson has been hard to get an absolute fix on in terms of his recruitment and this is essentially coming down to a decision on NSD.
