Cousin who is going to be a LB at Troy this coming season has played against him. Had nothing but praise for the kid. Said he was a really punishing runner and tough to tackle.
His film is impressive for several reasons. First, this is 6A Alabama football. The defenses he's facing aren't filled with corner sized DL. These are quality squads and he sometimes runs over multiple defenders before going down. He shows great burst and decent vision. Runs very violently. His speed is a glaring weakness and IMO, why he wasn't highly recruited. In open space he's not the fastest and can be caught by faster secondary, but this can be fixed with proper S&C which I'm confident he'll receive.
At 5'8 and 210lbs with the frame to add about 10-15 more lbs, that's a damn bowling ball not unlike the RB Miss St had last year, who faired very well against a lot of teams.
Looking forward to seeing what he can do.

We've seen a split backfield for so long, I wonder if we'll let Henry tote it 25+ times a game and just see how long we can ride him. Physically, he looks to be able to handle it. No reason he can't be an EDB on the college level. Size, speed, and great in pass pro.
