UGA surprises 2022 athlete with offer

Emmanuel Henderson is heating up as a recruit in the 2022 class. He is a star athlete at Geneva County in Hartford, Ala. and he picked up an offer from Georgia over the weekend.

He also has offers from Auburn, Mississippi State, Penn State and Tennessee.

Henderson is from Georgia, so this is another big offer for him and he did not see this one coming.

IN HIS OWN WORDS

"I was surprised by the Georgia offer. I did not expect it," said Henderson. "I was in the lounge walking around talking to the other recruits. Coach Dell McGee came up to me, we talked, and he said he was impressed with my film and then he offered me.

"It was my first visit there and the atmosphere was great.

"I have been interested in Georgia. I have family members that are fans and I grew up in Columbus, Ga.

"The best part of the visit was the Dawg Walk.

"Georgia is a very good school and I like it."

RIVALS REACTION

Henderson rushed for over 2,000 yards and scored 46 touchdowns this season, so he is a prospect that will garner a lot of attention the next two years. Being from Columbus, he knows about the history in Athens, but there is a school a little closer to his hometown, and that is Auburn. Henderson grew up a fan of the Tigers. Georgia now has his attention though and you can expect Henderson back in Athens next year.
