Georgia basketball offers scholarship to 5-star RB

The Georgia Bulldogs basketball program has offered a scholarship to shooting guard Emmanuel Henderson, who is a five-star running back

The Georgia Bulldogs and head basketball coach Tom Crean have offered a scholarship to point guard and shooting guard Emmanuel Henderson. Henderson has received several SEC basketball scholarship offers in addition to numerous football scholarship offers.

Georgia and Alabama are among the top schools for the elite running back recruit. Henderson is a five-star football prospect, who is a member of the class of 2022.

Henderson’s considered the No. 2 running back in the junior class. Henderson is a taller back at 6-foot-1. He plays football and basketball for Geneva County High School in Hartford, Alabama. Alabama is projected to land a commitment from Henderson, who is making his decision on March 13.

Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs have eight commitments from the class of 2022. One of the commitments, C.J. Washington plays some running back in addition to playing linebacker.

Emmanuel Henderson’s impressive athleticism translates to both basketball and football. Check out a video of Henderson’s windmill dunk:

 

Henderson will decide between numerous SEC schools and a few others. Auburn is among the SEC schools to offer Henderson a basketball scholarship. He announced his top-10 schools via his Twitter account back in October:

Emmanuel Henderson has Clemson, USC, Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Georgia, LSU and Auburn in his top-10.

The Georgia Bulldogs always try to bring in an elite running back recruit regardless of the roster. If Georgia doesn’t land a verbal commitment from Henderson, then they’ll likely be playing against him in the SEC.
