Lake Braddock junior quarterback Caleb Henderson continues to weigh his scholarship offers, a list that is likely to grow soon based on discussions that various coaches have had with Henderson and his father, Eric, in recent weeks.
Eric Henderson, who handles the bulk of the recruiting to save his son the distraction, divides the conversations and correspondence into roughly three categories ? firm offers, schools that are actively recruiting Henderson but have not yet extended offers and another group that is more loosely involved in pursuing him.
The firm offers are from Michigan State, Illinois, Marshall, Virginia, Maryland and Old Dominion.
Among the other schools showing interest are Ohio State, whose campus Henderson plans to visit in March. The Hendersons also plan to see Miami and Tennessee soon and North Carolina again. They planned to meet with Virginia Coach Mike London again this week.
Purdue would like Henderson to visit campus. Wisconsin has weighed in. Rutgers, West Virginia, Pitt, Tennessee and Penn State have dropped by Lake Braddock frequently. The Hendersons met with Maryland Coach Randy Edsall last week and have been to North Carolina and Duke. They plan to go to Wake Forest. Arizona made contact Tuesday, and Florida State is involved as well.
?I think it will start to shake out as we get into May when the recruiters are able to get back in the schools again,? said Eric Henderson, dean of students at Lake Braddock and the football team?s defensive coordinator.
