What does the most decorated high school running back in history do (12,124 yards, 153 touchdowns?) According to him, his encore would be a Heisman Trophy.

But, after he went to the University of Alabama, he did so much more: unseating legendary Shaun Alexander, Trent Richardson and Mark Ingram at Alabama, and then obliterate Herschel Walker’s 35-year old records from the books.

The list of records King Henry set in his Alabama career, especially duringthe magical 2015 Heisman run, are, in their strictest definition, awesome.

  • Became the first SEC player to rush for 2000 yards
  • Set an Alabama record for rushing attempts in a game (46, Auburn)
  • Set an SEC and Alabama record for rushing yards in a season (2219) obliterating Walker’s 1891 rushing yards in 1980.
