Even before he started ninth grade and his path as a prodigious quarterback recruit at Lake Braddock Secondary School in Northern Virginia, Caleb Henderson had earned a scholarship offer from Maryland. It was one of the first he collected near the end of his middle school years, when he was already beginning to fill out his 6-foot-3, 230-pound frame.
But as he grew into the eventual 2013 All-Met Player of the Year, Henderson also grew apart from the idea of playing in College Park. He instead signed with North Carolina and spent his first two years buried on the depth chart.
