Title: Derrick Henry Almost Transferred After Freshman Year Post by: bamaphil on September 17, 2015, 09:51:20 AM I'm glad he stayed.
Quote Henry, then a freshman, was unhappy. He was homesick for Yulee, adrift without his support system. At Alabama, coaches cursed at him on the practice field for the first time in his life. It wasn't enough that he was a five-star recruit with a once-in-a-lifetime ability to run the football; he needed to learn how to read the defense, catch the football and block. With three running backs ahead of him on the depth chart, he'd managed just 28 carries during the regular season. His dream of 1,500 yards as a true freshman had turned into a nightmare of self-doubt. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/13668573/alabama-crimson-tide-star-derrick-henry-thought-transferring-freshman Title: Re: Derrick Henry Almost Transferred After Freshman Year Post by: Marshal Dillon on September 17, 2015, 10:33:32 AM Excellent story & good for Derrick Henry.
