Seantrel Henderson: On The Road Again

The Seantrel Henderson story has taken yet another twist. Southern Cal head coach Lane Kiffin recently released Henderson of his scholarship, giving him the opportunity to sign with any team in the country.

Henderson was the #1 player in his class for much of his extremely successful high school career at Cretin- Derham HS in Minnesota and was considered the best offensive tackle in the country by many publications. Henderson’s recruitment was riddled with controversy ad it was unclear if he would have been eligible to play immediately at USC due to possible NCAA infractions. Now it looks as though Henderson will never line up for the Trojans.

Kiffin has been adamant about only wanting football players in the Trojans locker room that truly want to be on the USC campus and have no reservations about playing for his coaching staff. Henderson was apparently not “all-in” therefore he will be out looking for a new place to call home immediately.

Kiffin and USC had the ability to limit Henderson’s choice of universities but took the high road and will allow him to sign with any football program in the country, including PAC-10 schools. It is believed that Henderson’s next stop will most likely be the University of Miami where he was reportedly seen over the weekend taking an unofficial visit.

Henderson was the gem of Kiffin’s first recruiting class at USC and would have had the opportunity to contend for a starting spot along the offensive line immediately had he decided to stay with the Trojans, who face a two year Bowl ban after an exhausting NCAA investigation that centered around Reggie Bush.
