Minnesota's top-recruited football player this year is Cretin-Derham Hall wide receiver Michael Floyd, who last month committed to Notre Dame. But the St. Paul school has another player who will be recruited even more than Floyd has been.

He's offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson, a lean 6 feet 7, 295 pounds and just a sophomore. Henderson, 16, already has offers from Notre Dame, Iowa, Wisconsin and the Gophers.

Ohio State, which recently landed Eden Prairie's Willie Mobley, has made 6-7, 303-pound Cretin-Derham Hall sophomore offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson its No. 1 recruiting target for 2010.
Mobley attended the Timberwolves-Golden State Warriors game Wednesday night wearing an Ohio State sweatshirt and said he remains firmly committed to the Buckeyes. Also attending the game was Gophers men's basketball coach Tubby Smith.

So where does ND stand with him? Much like Floyd, are they the front-runners here, especially with an offer already extanded?

Cretin-Derham Hall offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson is a big man with big dreams
Cretin-Derham Hall sophomore's football ability already has colleges clambering after him. And he plays basketball, too.

You can't miss Seantrel Henderson walking around Cretin-Derham Hall. He is the 6-foot-7, 300-pound sophomore who towers over classmates.

You can't miss him on the basketball court or football field, either.

In basketball, he's dominant in the low post and has averaged 12 points a game in the Raiders' first two victories of the season.

In football, he is considered a can't-miss college recruit.

The fleet-footed offensive lineman helped pave the way for Cretin-Derham Hall's offense, which produced more than 6,000 yards and averaged 47 points a game en route to a runner-up finish in Class AAAAA.

Before Henderson even played a down at the varsity level, University of Minnesota football coach Tim Brewster saw his potential and offered a scholarship through the Cretin-Derham Hall coaching staff. Henderson also has been offered scholarships by Wisconsin, Iowa and Notre Dame, and Ohio State has made him its No. 1 recruiting target for 2010.

"If you thought the recruiting of (teammate) Michael Floyd was something, just wait when Seantrel comes along,'' Cretin-Derham Hall assistant coach Andy Bischoff said.

"It's flattering that people would like me to play at their schools and that I might be good enough someday to play at the highest level,'' said Henderson, who has a 2.70 grade-point average. "Really, I haven't accomplished anything yet. I have to continue to challenge myself academically and physically. To get to those places, you have to work hard and have focus.''

Tressel also visited Cretin-Derham Hall sophomore offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson, who already is a coveted 2010 recruit.

Cretin-Derham Hall's Seantrel Henderson is drawing college recruiters to watch him play -- in football and basketball.

In the Michael Floyd recruiting derby, Ohio State was on the Cretin-Derham Hall wide receiver's final list of colleges before he committed to Notre Dame. It's important to note that Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, as much as he wanted Floyd, never paid a personal visit to his St. Paul high school.

Tressel, however, made a recent trip to Cretin-Derham Hall in pursuit of another athlete, sophomore offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson.

"He found his way in here the other day, just to show the flag," Raiders football coach Mike Scanlan said Tuesday. Other schools showing their flags to the 6-7, 305-pound Henderson include Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Notre Dame. Yes, the scholarship offers are pouring in.

The kid has grown two inches in the past year and a doctor told him he might hit 6-9.

"He has no fat on his body. He could carry 350 and not be fat. He's just starting to lift weights; this is all natural," Kline said.

[wadc45]

From the biggest Gopher-homer around...seems to me a lot of what he posts is hearsay or just flat-out unverified rumor...just like when he continued to say Minnesota was in it for Mobley despite the fact Willie kept saying (both publicly and privately) that he was 100% committed to OSU.

Pssst: There's buzz that 6-7, 300-pound sophomore lineman Seantrell Henderson, who some scouts say could be the nation's top recruited prep football player in two years, is considering a transfer from Cretin-Derham Hall to either Totino-Grace, Holy Angels or DeLaSalle, as is his close pal, quarterback J.D. Pride Jr. A switch to another program for Henderson, though, is puzzling in that it could affect his development.

[pnuts34]

Good God this kid is big! And he's only a soph!!!!

[wayzataman]

People, this should be a no brainer. If this kid wants out of Cretin he should move to the only school to produce All Big Ten, All American, and All World Football Players ------Wayzata! Home to #33 James Laurinaitis. Let's not forget this program also produced Marion Barber III - Dallas Cowboys, as well as Ben Hamilton - Denver Broncos. Not only are they solid in football - their academics are easily the best public school education has to offer. Henderson would be more then prepared if he were to be a Trojan!

[IrishCalves]

I've come across a USC fan from one of the rivals boards, who is one of those "in the know" posters. Said that Notre Dame has a better chance at Henderson now than we did with Floyd at the same time in his recruitment. Obviously, a lot of things can change between now and when his recruitment kicks into gear, let alone his LOI day, but ND is apparently in real good position.
