Alvin Henderson listed as No. 8 running back in 2025 class by On3

Henderson has a chance to win Mr. Alabama honors this season after posting 3,523 rushing yards and 64 touchdowns in 2023.

Four-star Auburn running back commit Alvin Henderson added another accolade to this illustrious high school career last week. On3 sports listed Henderson as their No. 8 running back in next year’s recruiting class.

A consensus top 20 back in the class, Henderson is the second-highest-ranked SEC commit, trailing only future LSU Tiger Harlem Berry on the list. Fellow four-star Auburn target [autotag]Ousame Kromah[/autotag] checked in as number four.

The 5-10, 198-pound Henderson flipped his commitment from Penn State to Auburn back in June. Now entering his senior season at Elba High School in Elba, Alabama, Henderson has a chance to contend for Mr. Alabama honors after a magnificent junior year in which he compiled 3,523 rushing yards and 64 touchdowns. The 3,523 yards were good enough for the second most in the country.

With Auburn’s current starting running back [autotag]Jarquez Hunter[/autotag] set to enter his final season on the Plains and the depth chart murky behind him, Henderson can make his case to become the Tigers 2025 starter with a strong final high school season. While he currently sits outside the top 5 in On3’s rankings, another 3,500+ yards on the ground could propel him up the rankings as the fall progresses.

Either way, [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] and his staff will surely be excited to welcome the in-state star to the Plains in the summer of 2025. [autotag]Jarquez Hunter[/autotag] and the Auburn offensive line will try to cement a strong identity running the football until then. Alvin Henderson’s season with Elba High School kicks off on August 23 on the road against Luverne.

Four-star running back Ousame Kromah ‘feeling needed’ by Auburn

Could Kromah and Alvin Henderson be Auburn’s next best running back duo?

2025 four-star running back[autotag]Ousame Kromah[/autotag] is one of the last remaining highly coveted backs in his class.

The Leesburg, Georgia native may not be ready to make a decision just yet, but he is prepared to make one “soon.” On campus for ‘Big Cat Weekend’ this week,[autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] and his staff have one final chance to sway the consensus top 100 prospect to the Plains.

Kromah has made it a point in his recruiting journey to feel needed by whatever program he chooses. Auburn’s staff has done a good job making their need for a back feel apparent, according to the Lee County High School star.

“”First of all, they need a back… [Auburn] didn’t sign anybody in the ’24 class. That’s good for me because that means there’s a need for me, Kromah said. “That feeling (at Auburn) of being welcomed is what could push a person to go somewhere.”

Seeing the vast amount of talent on the Plains, especially not at his position, at ‘Big Cat Weekend’ is surely something that will be on Kromah’s mind over the next few days. If Hugh Freeze was able to land the four-star recruit, Auburn would beat out a long list of highly successful programs including SEC rivals Georgia and Alabama in the pursuit of his talents.
