Florida Football had a ton of prospects on campus yesterday as part of Shadow Day ahead of the recruiting dead period set to take hold on Monday.
One of the prospects who came to The Swamp is the type of blue-chip prospect that makes opponents have second thoughts about playing football in the first place.

Trenton Henderson is an EDGE from Pensacola. Listed at 6'4" and 225 pounds, he is a consensus four-star, though On3 and ESPN have him in the top 25 overall, while Rivals doesn't have him ranked at all.
Henderson is the type of player an opponent can game plan for, and it still might not matter. He can be you to the outside or the inside, and he can beat you even if you try to double-team him. On film when he gets to a QB he doesn't waste the opportunity to inflict pain.
His play recognition is also solid, as he doesn't overcommit to plays and will hold the edge as needed to make a play.
He is a capable run-stopper, though we would like to see him get even more physical in the run game. For as violent as he is with QBs, he tends not to have that same level of violence with a pulling guard or tight end.
But he is a top-50 prospect for sure, and someone Florida certainly needs to continue to go after.
Florida offered him last May, but he has picked up a string of offers in the last month. Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas joined the club of Auburn, Miami, FSU, LSU and Michigan with official offers.
The On3 RPM model liks Auburn so far, but the hope for Florida is that they made a strong impression this weekend as they look to pick up steam for their class of 2026.
