i'm absolutely shocked. of all the Columbus DB's Henderson appeared to have the least Miami interest. huge pick up possibly the fastest player in SF.
 
Saw this guy play RB against South Dade and he dusted everybody.

I had no idea who he was going in but he was the most impressive player on the field. That includes Josh Uche, Guy Thomas, Rollins, Bandy, Jobe, Wiggins and Jawon Hamilton.

Cornerback Christopher Henderson (Miami/Columbus) committed to Miami, as first-reported by 247Sports.com.

"It felt like home," Henderson said. "They have great people there. (Hurricanes cornerbacks) coach Mike Rumph is a great coach and he did the same thing we are going to do already."

Henderson, an explosive athlete, will play on the island for the Canes.

"They are getting a shutdown cornerback," Henderson said.

Henderson unofficially visited Miami this afternoon and told the staff he wanted in.

"They were all very excited," Henderson said. "I committed as a cornerback and they were very surprised to hear from me. They all came into the office so that was pretty cool. They said they're excited to have me and I'll have a chance to play my freshman year. We even talked about me wearing number five just like I do now for Columbus."

Henderson chose the Hurricanes over 16 other offers including Alabama and USC. He discussed why he felt like the time was right to commit to UM.

"I felt comfortable with the coaches and this seemed like home," Henderson said. "I had been thinking about Miami ever since last summer. I wanted to know how much I might get recruited so I decided to hold off at the time. I got a lot of other offers but I didn't need to consider them. It's time to bring the old 'U' back."

Henderson, who runs a 4.4-second 40-yard dash, is one of the top recruits in south Florida in the 2017 class.

Look for his stock to explode in the coming weeks and months.

Henderson is the 10th verbal commit in the 2017 class for Miami. Cornerback is a big position of need for UM in the 2017 class. Henderson joins Nick Roberts as the cornerbacks committed in 2017.

excellent speed and nice frame for CB (6'0 - 6'1).

I'm excited about this DB haul mane...Shawn Davis and Gibson might announce this weekend also. No need to worry about de-commits with Folden gone now.

per scout.
"I chose Miami because it's right at home and I feel like I'll fit right in," Henderson said. "Nothing is better than dominating in your own city."

#SPEED #SPEED #SPEED Chris (CJ) Henderson is the second Miami commit from Columbus along with 2018 DB Josh Jobe. Lookout for DE Guy Thomas, brother of FSU LB Matthew Thomas. He will be visiting Miami next week along with Henderson for Miami's Junior day. CB Trajan Bandy is dying to get the offer from Miami, He has over 32 D1 offers and he is the best player on the Columbus roster.

If he's dying for an offer... Why wouldn't he come to the junior day, ball out and show them why he deserves one?? Instead of going to Auburn that weekend?
