S Xavier Henderson

When we look back on Mark Dantonio’s legacy at Michigan State, his history of recruiting and developing defensive backs that ended up in the NFL will be front and center in that story. Xavier Henderson is a safety who can seemingly do it all on the field, from playmaking to making open-field tackles, and if he decides to follow the recent trend of MSU defensive backs leaving after their junior season (Josiah Scott, Montae Nicholson, and Justin Layne all left after three seasons) he could hear his name called on draft day.
