Pekin, Ill.
School: Pekin High School (enrollment 2,000)
Class: 2014
Sports: Football and track
College plans: Has offers from Illinois State, Eastern Illinois, Western Illinois, Northern Illinois and University of Illinois (track only). The University of Florida also is interested.
Favorite athlete: "Usain Bolt, because he's the fastest man in the world. His work ethic is really good," Henderson said.
Coach speak: "He's got explosiveness with speed. He also has unbelievable jumping ability and soft hands, just like glue. He's a great character kid, a leader. He has a great personality. The kid works hard - everything he does is 100 percent. He's put himself in a situation where he can choose (between two sports). We may see him on TV later on down the road."
