Henry ranks as one of the top running backs in the Class of 2013 and he proved it last season with his final season totals. He rushed for more than 100 yards in every game with a high of 308 in the playoffs against Taylor County.
Why he will lead the nation in rushing: As one of the premier running backs in the country, Henry has the athletic ability to get the job done. Plus, he has already prospered despite being the focal point of opposing defenses.
Why he won't lead the nation in rushing: Yulee will need to go deeper into the playoffs for Henry to have a chance and that's not easily done in Florida's brutal football landscape.
