“it went great. Everybody that talked highly of tennessee, they actually showed it today,” said henderson. “i was really impressed with the way the coaches were with answering all the questions and everything, so everything just went great. “they’re one of my top schools right now. I’m trying to cut down on my list, as far as schools who i like and who i don’t, so i’m still working on that. But tennessee is really up there.” the 6-foot-4, 225-pound henderson said he liked “everything” about the vols’ program, but he was particularly impressed by their dorms and facilities, including neyland stadium and the new anderson training center. “i loved the dorms — the size of the dorms — the field, the facilities,” he said. “it was one of the greatest facilities i’ve seen throughout all my visits. I really enjoyed that. “the dorms, they’re huge. It was, like, one of the biggest dorms that i’ve seen so far. It’s, like, apartment-style dorms, and it’s nice that you have four athletes staying in one dorm, and it’s actually big enough for the four athletes. That’s what i really liked. I really loved the stadium.” “i really like louisville,” he said. “i’m still talking with o-state. They’re talking about shooting me an offer when they get everything with the recruiting process. “i’ve been planning it with coach elder and coach strip’ about coming down here, and i’ve really got a lot of interest in tennessee,” henderson said. “they’ve got a lot of interest in me. I just thought i should give it a shot to come down here. We sat down and had a nice, little talk — about a 10-minute talk, 15-minute talk with all the coaches — and it was excellent. Henderson said tennessee is recruiting him to play the leo position — a hybrid defensive end/outside linebacker spot — in its 4-3 base defense. “they say i fit perfect for the type of defense, with my athleticism, me being as quick as i am with my first step, and i can drop back in coverage,” he said. “they said i really fit perfect in that type of situation.” “i’m going to try to hold out (on a decision) as long as i can, try to make everything right. I don’t want to make no wrong decision out of my choices when i commit.”
