Buzz vs Tape
His own fans are far more bullish than the rival fanbase.
7. Keisean Henderson , QB, Houston : Henderson ranked No. 4 nationally and has the highest upside of any incoming Big 12 recruit. Returning starter Conner Weigman blocks Henderson’s path to making an immediate impact, but it will be hard…
Also worth knowing:
“In the three passes I’ve seen Keisean Henderson has looked like the greatest quarterback of all time”
Fan claims · every quote verified verbatim
I expect to see Keisean the entire 2nd half against Southern This is by far the most depth we’ve had since 2015 and 2016.
