THE TALE

It’s not often that Penn State goes down to Alabama, but Penn State offered the ultra-productive Henderson way back in October 2021. Since then, running backs coach Ja’Juan Seider did a heck of a job keeping the Nittany Lions in this one, even when it seemed like Henderson would stay south for college. He appeared likely headed to Auburn, but Penn State was able to get him up on a visit earlier this month, and quickly changed the tide of his recruitment.
