Miami Football: Top National Signing Day Targets

5. Christopher Henderson, 4-star CB (Winter Park, FL)

Christopher Henderson is a four-star cornerback prospect that is very high on the Miami Hurricanes’ radar. Henderson is the 135th-best in the nation, 15th-best available cornerback and 24th-best player out of the state of Florida, according to 247 Sports.

With just eight defensive commitments, the Miami Hurricanes haven’t been too aggressive on the recruiting trail, yet. With four juniors and one sophomore at cornerback entering 2017, the Hurricanes will need to add some depth at the position for the future eventually.

Henderson originally committed to play for the Hurricanes in 2016 but he decommitted in October. He reopened his recruitment much to the dismay of Miami coaches.

Acquiring Henderson would be a huge get for Miami. They only have one commitment from a cornerback in this year’s recruiting class. The Florida-native is down to a final three of Alabama, Florida and Miami.. He visited the Hurricanes on December 9. This month, he visited Alabama on the 13th and Florida on the 20th. He also took an unofficial visit to Miami on January 17.

With a lot of the top teams needing help at the cornerback position, Henderson’s name has moved up a lot of team’s list as a top target. He is set to make a decision on National Signing Day.
