Alvin Henderson, a top 125 recruit in the 2025 class, is leaning towards retracting his commitment from Penn State. On3 Reporter Steve Wiltfong and Chad Simmons posted the tweet. I expect Henderson to move on and play for the Auburn University Tigers.
Henderson is originally from Elba, Alabama, and will be returning to his home state to play, and despite his commitment to Penn State, the Tigers tried to recruit him and ultimately convinced him to stay in the South.
This move could have a domino effect, as four-star running back recruit Jabree Wallace-Coleman is scheduled to take his official visit to Penn State today, June 21. If the news spreads around Henderson, it could lead Wallace-Coleman to more seriously consider playing for the Nittany Lions.
Penn State’s recruiting class will be a big blow, as Henderson is ranked in the top five of the class of 2025, but there are two other running backs in the class of 2025, Ti’Kwai Hayes and Ke’Andre Barker. Penn State also has 2024 recruit Quinton Martin Jr., who has been impressive in offseason workouts and camps so far.
Losing Henderson will be a big blow, and Penn State fans have already expressed their disappointment in the news. But it’s not the end of the world. Franklin has shown he has the ability to recruit running backs, even if they don’t perform well. He’ll likely find more talent like Henderson through his recruiting and transfer portals.
Along with Franklin, it’s worth mentioning how great running backs and assistant head coach Ja’Juan Seider has been for Penn State football, and Nittany Lions fans should trust him to manage the position and recruit players who will thrive in the blue and white uniform.
