Among a myriad of outspoken players on the Florida Gators’ roster, there’s one whose play often speaks louder than his words.
It’s cornerback CJ Henderson. His assertive appearance on the field is met with a soft-spoken, reserved temperament off it.
“He doesn’t really say much, but just the way he preps and the way he goes about his business on a day-to-day basis definitely stands out,” receiver Josh Hammond said of Henderson.
And when Florida’s defense has needed someone to make an effort play at critical times, Henderson has been that guy all season.
It showed in his performance against South Carolina, particularly in the second half, where he made several timely tackles and an interception at the end of the game to seal the Gators’ 35-31 comeback win over the Gamecocks.
