We start with Alvin Henderson. The 5-foot-9, 195-pound Elba, Ala., Class of 2025 running back will announce his decision on Thursday. A time has not yet been announced. The four-star who is the nation’s No. 110 player in the On3 Industry Rankings and No. 7 player at his position is fresh off a visit to see Penn State. He has also seen Auburn, the current On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine leader, this spring in addition to Florida State, Florida, and Miami.
“This weekend visit to Penn State was big,” Henderson told On3. “Opened up my eyes a lot! I took this visit because Coach (James) Franklin and Coach [Ja’Juan Seider] wanted me to come up because they know that I’m a huge priority to them and feel like I could come in and be a huge asset to the team!”

Quote of the day
“It was more so making the best decision for me to grow as a man and as a football player. “I believe, just off of the track record at Penn State, it has much more to offer than just football. To grow past football, grow in the academic lane. And then you got somebody like Coach Terry [Smith], who’s developed multiple DBs. It was a no-brainer.”
