LaDarius Henderson didn’t take the typical path to becoming an NFL draft prospect.
Henderson, from Waxahachie, Texas didn’t play football until high school. While still learning, he went through a massive growth spurt that had him on college radars quickly.
After being recruited by Arizona State and continuing to hone his craft, he joined a perennial National Championship contender in Michigan, where he started 10 games for the CFP winners in 2024.
“I actually didn’t start so late,” Henderson told FanSided. “Because in seventh grade, and eighth grade and ninth grade I thought it was too late, but then in 11th grade when I started one of the coaches told me to come join the team and make some friends, and I did.
