Auburn 2025 RB target is a special talent
Alvin Henderson is a special running back.
The 2025 Elba running back is a high-priority target for Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers. He's been recruited by a ton of top programs throughout college football.
"This is going to be a classic battle," recruiting expert John Garcia said on Locked On Auburn. "When you think of the best running backs to come through the state of Alabama, you know this is an Iron Bowl battle but this one will stretch. Stretch to Clemson, Georgia, Florida State is going to get involved here."
Henderson's sophomore numbers at Elba are insane. According to 247's page, he rushed for 2,636 yards and 47 touchdowns in 2022. In 2021, he ran for 1,115 yards and 24 scores as a freshman. He's listed at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds.
"This is darn near a grown man running the football in 2025," Garcia said on Henderson. "It's crazy what he's put on tape as a sophomore. Over 2,500 yards, big, downhill physical, and that Elba offense is old school. It is very much a throwback to where everyone in the building knows that Henderson is getting the rock and it still doesn't matter."
Henderson took an unofficial visit to Auburn on January 21st.
