About Anthony
Expert Analysis
Robert King | Prep Redzone Scout
Elite WR attributes, does things you cannot teach. Great release, great start/stop as a route runner, very sudden, hard to cover. He has elite ball skills, good hands, and body control. Very smooth and textbook in everything he does. He doesn’t have elite length or size, but still think this is a mid to high level P4 kid because of his suddenness and overall AA. He reminds me of

of Hugenot. Not a huge kid but can beat you multiple different ways. His AA, skills, and versatility allow him to play bigger than his listed size and win matchups. He can stretch the field and run the whole route tree. Can also be used on end arounds and jet sweeps. Draws a lot of attention form defensive coordinators because of versatility and speed. By the end of this season will be considered one of the best players in VA regardless of class.

Read EvaluationEd OBrien | Prep Redzone Scout
Henderson has caught 31 passes for 728 yards and made the zone nine times. His early plays underscore that he can outjump defenders and high-point catches and make difficult ones. He does not have a fast-twitch burst to take the top off defenses, but he is a fluid strider with good route quickness and the ability to transition smoothly. Henderson is also a tough punt returner, showing toughness with the ball in his hands post-catch, regularly breaking tackles, and putting his agility on full display given ample open field. Improving his get-off would only bolster his impact on the field.

is a game changer. Henderson has a big long lanky frame and is perfect for a 50/50 ball. He can create separation and even with his somewhat smaller frame is not afraid to get physical and take a hit.
Close to 10 offers thus far, Henderson will be a Power 5 wideout when all is said and done.
