If he does he'll be the third Bama back to do so.

I'm excited to see this guy get some carries this year. The stable of Yeldon, Drake, Henry, and Tenpenny is going to fierce in the next couple years.
I just don't know where some of these other guys are gonna fit in.

Another RB who use to do push-ups and sit-ups like it was like breathing ..... His name was Herschel Walker and he turned out to be decent player .... Just saying!

Kamara may move to slot receiver with his hands and speed. Tyren Jones will hold his own, probably the best RB in GA.

This kid is my favorite in the class. He has bought in from Day 1, and because of that, He is going to be a Star.
I'm of the opinion he will pass Drake and be the number 2 (or the "Yeldon" of 2013) by the end of next season. Nothing against Drake, Tenpenny, or any of those guys. I just think King Henry is on another level physically and mentally. But crap, what do I know!

I know they will not be the top two backs (Yeldon will obviously be #1), but the 1-2 punch of a fresh Fowler and Henry pounding the rock is just downright unfair. I love to see the big backs demoralize defenses.

i agree on Jones. prolly the quickest change of direct i've seen in a while. and he runs big for his size. one of my favs in this class of many.

I remember when Christian Okoye would get rolling on a team back in the day and it seemed like there was nothing the other team could do. That was against pro defenses.
I can't imagine what two similar type backs could do against a college team. I think both of our guys have the speed to finish the long runs. It could be brutal and thank goodness they are on our side.

"Henry enjoyed the national championship parade, but didn’t want to participate because he hadn’t contributed anything yet."

That's what stood out to me the most. He's here to earn it and make his own legacy. Dang I'm excited to see what he can do!
