Arizona State starting 17-year-old on offensive line

At 17, it's easy to get caught up rites of passage when it comes to high school. Things like choosing a college, taking the SAT and going to prom.

But Arizona State's LaDarius Henderson has other concerns. Not only is he already in college and playing for Pac-12 football team, but he is starting at left tackle, which is almost unheard of for a true freshman.

Henderson will play a full college football season before he turns 18 in December. Making his appearance in the starting lineup even more surprising is that he didn't begin playing football until his junior year of high school.
