Houston Lamar RB has piled up over 1,200 all-purpose yards this season.
Ta'Zhawn Henry of
Lamar (Houston) did something so spectacular Thursday night in a 51-7 win over Westbury, it drew the attention of the best running back in the state.
Not the best
high school running back, we're talking Dallas Cowboys rookie Ezekiel Elliott.
As seen in the video above, Henry hurdled over two defenders at the same time for an incredible 32-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. He finished the game with 183 all-purpose yards and three scores on just nine touches.
The run was so sensational that Elliott took the time to praise the play on Twitter.
Henry has offers from Houston, Toledo and Tulsa among others. The 5-foot-7, 165-pound junior finished the regular season with 1,268 all-purpose yards and 16 touchdowns with a chance to build on those numbers in the postseason.
