Derrick Henry: next Heisman Trophy winner?

Your theory sounds logical, but he had 462 carries senior year of HS! It's a little different trampling people, but still that is a SHT load of carries

Rivals had this kid as a 4-star.

 

Big but not big in the legs like Dupree.

 

Sloppy tackling helped his performance ....

 

Predicting the next Heisman winner is usually very difficult. That being said, I think there is a decent chance that the next Heisman winner may be Trevor Knight.

1. He is capable of performing at a high level.
2. He will be playing on a team that should be VERY good and receive a lot a national attention.
3. He's very likable.

 

2012 HS highlights

that is Marcus Dupree!

 

Very hard to see anybody beating Winston.

 

His HS highlights do look a lot like Dupree's.

 

For his sake, I hope he has better practice habits than Dupree.

 

Henry looked VERY impressive. I'd still need to see him replicate that for several games. I thought the KSU receiver was going to be the next Jerry Rice.

 

Maybe a tad early to hand him the stiff arm trophy. I do predict he will drag and/or run over more defensive players in the future.

 

Dupree was what immediately came to mind to me. Henry was a beast! Henry also reminded me of how Vince Young looked with defenders helplessly swiping at his legs as he blew past. I'm glad we survived hurricane Henry. He'll be interesting to watch in the future.

 

If they could have run him more they would have. He only had 8 carries and in the 4th quarter when the defense keyed on him, held him for no gain on what I think was his last time to touch the ball.

He gashed our defense because that was what Mike was giving them, choosing instead to go after McCarron, who was the obvious weapon of choice. Ultimately, that proved to be the correct decision.

 

Wow he kicked a 34 yard fg in his jr year in high school.

 

My Bama friend told me years ago that Bear didn't want any Heisman winners and would not push for it. If so then he was a real ahole...

I think you meant Ingram.

They should have waited and given the trophy to Richardson or Lacy who were both head and shoulders better than Ingram.

 

I don't think the kid had the stamina to do more. Everytime the camera panned to him on the sideline he was huffing and puffing. His moves are pure Marcus Dupre, his hairdo makes him look like the Predator....

 

he is a scary bionic, who looks like he could hurt you.

 

He won't win the Heisman.

You people remind me of Beano Cook after watching one game saying Ron Powlus would win 3 Heismans.

Give me a break.

He won't win one.

Oh and for the record neither did Rhett Bomar.

 

will he run home to mama?

 

Reminded me a little of the Fiesta Bowl with Dupree.

 

That kid is a freak, reminded me of AD minus the stamina.
