Expert Analysis
Paul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Henderson has been the biggest spring riser of any prospect across Idaho this off-season and has impressive Junior season tape and athletic ability for anywhere on the defensive front. He is a tremendous athlete with power, natural bend and pass rush abilities and a very diverse skillset to play on the edge or even pack on weight and kick inside with plus athletic abilities and twitch for the interior edge. Once his Junior season came to a close he racked up 12 offers, multiple from FBS schools and has recently shut down his recruitment and committed to Utah just last week. Henderson is in line for a monster senior season for Bishop Kelly and should be atop the statistical leaderboards once the season comes to a close.

Henderson checks into our rankings as a new addition and as the top defensive lineman in the 2026 class across Idaho. He holds multiple offers from the FCS ranks and Washington State and is a very disruptive edge rusher that can lineup at multiple spots and be effective. Strong at the POA with a explosive first step and heavy hands, he shows closing speed/can collapse the pocket quickly and is a high motor kid that is always around the ball. Depending on scheme at the next level he should fit in nicely at either the first or second level and has good position versatility.

Henderson is one of the more explosive versatile prospects across Idaho heading into the off-season and should be closing in on his first offer soon. He can play anywhere along the defensive front or at outside linebacker and is a elite pass rusher with initial explosion, hand violence and closing speed backside while a high motor kid that is seemingly always around the ball. His ability to play with heavy hands and anchor against the run and win with both speed, sudden twitch and power when pass rushing along with having the frame to play multiple positions makes him a intriguing prospect. He has been disruptive through out post season play on the interior and edge and is one of the top players to keep an eye on next weekend in the 5A clash with Skyline.

Henderson is one of the top edge prospects across Idaho in the 2027 class and has the ideal frame/size for the position in college with the frame to continue packing on weight. He is a very high motor prospect that projects as a true hand in the dirt defensive end and is a powerful rusher that can collapse the pocket quickly, has a strong initial punch and is a violent player when getting off blocks and playing in the run game. He should draw plenty of college interest during the year and this off-season and has a intriguing mix of size, speed, bend and overall athleticism for the defensive front.

Henderson is a no-brainer to enter into our rankings in the next update, and is one of the top defenders across the state regardless of class. He has had a tremendous off-season packing on weight and developing into a true edge rusher with plus athleticism and the ideal length and size for the edge position at the next level. He is explosive off the ball, plays with violent hands and can counter back inside while winning with initial power, bend and good leverage at the point of attack when locking out with strong initial punch. He is technically sound against the run, shows he can quickly get off blocks, set the edge and is a high motor kid that can make plays backside and has quick block recognition abilities when collapsing on pullers or defeating reaches. Henderson still has plenty of growth potential and is one of the best true edge prospects across the state and is a no-brainer FCS+ prospect with still two years left in his prep career.
