Arizona State freshman left tackle LaDarius Henderson remembers taking the field as a starter for the first time when the Sun Devils marched into hostile territory at Michigan State and not being nervous. Alone that is surprising, but Henderson was barely into his third year playing organized football and competing in the heart of Big Ten country at the ripe old age of 17. And he wasn't nervous.
Not only was Henderson in the starting lineup that day, but so was another true freshman in right guard Dohnovan West.
