Cretin-Derham Hall standout offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson will travel to New York to announce his college decision on Feb. 3, the first day of the national signing period, his father told the Pioneer Press today.
Henderson, the 6-foot-8, 338-pound All-American who is rated as the nation's top recruit, will announce his college choice on Tom Lemming's cable television show on ESPN. Lemming is a national recruiting expert.
"That's the place where we want to be to make the announcement,'' said Sean Henderson, Seantrel's father. "It feels right to do it there.''
Henderson still is deciding among eight colleges, according to his father. Sean Henderson said none of the eight has the edge over another.
Henderson took officials visits to Ohio State, Florida, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Southern California. He took unofficial visits to Iowa and Minnesota. Another school under serious consideration is Miami.
"All eight schools are neck and neck,'' Sean Henderson said. "The pressure is on, no doubt. It is a race against time. We could push it past Feb. 3, but we don't want to do that.''
Henderson, who helped lead the Raiders to the Class AAAAA championship in November, played in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Saturday in San Antonio. Prior to the game, he was selected the inaugural winner of the Anthony Munoz Award, given to the nation's top lineman.
