Everything about this young man–from his name, to his on-field skill set, to how he attacks the weight room and everything else is pure power and ruthless aggression. Complete with the full cage facemask and cowboy collar, he looks like a straight up Madden Created Player. This season he played some old school Fullback (which should come as no surprise) and is somewhere between a Middle Linebacker and an Edge player–with the Edge position holding a slight lead in my opinion. Following the regular football season, Henderson went on to win the State Championship at the 210-pound weight class in wrestling and started for Region 1 in the KYMSFA Battle of the Regions. To top it off, earlier in April, he also eclipsed the 500-pound deadlift mark.
