Henry has a long list of top running backs to follow in Tuscaloosa. He will try to lock up the starting role in 2015 and live up to the high expectations.

The Yulee, Florida native arrived at Alabama as high school football’s all-time leading rusher and the team hopes he can replicate that at the next level. In 2014, Henry ran for 990 yards and 11 touchdowns. We will see if Saban can create another prominent SEC back out of Henry, and if he does, defenses beware.
