The impact of new USC defensive line coach and co-defensive coordinator Eric Henderson is only beginning to be seen and felt. Inside and outside the program, it is already apparent that Henderson is a very impressive figure who commands respect and is earning admiration.
Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports notes that one USC recruiting target and his family were quite impressed by what they saw and heard at USC, with Henderson leading the way.
“247Sports’ No. 1 edge rusher Jared Smith visited USC this weekend. The Alabaster (Ala.) Thompson blue-chipper made the trek out West with his mother and aunt. The three of them loved the experience and Smith said he’ll definitely be back.”
It’s impossible to ignore: Eric Henderson coached Aaron Donald with the Los Angeles Rams. He developed other less heraled Ram linemen into strong and productive pass rushers. Henderson has credentials and stories to share on the recruiting trail which will create a strongly positive impression. USC has an assistant coach who is in position to make a huge difference in recruiting.
