Derrick Henry - Sports Stars of Tomorrow Football Player of the Year
July 21, 2018
Derrick Henry was named Sports Stars of Tomorrow Football Player of the Year after rushing for 12,121 career yards at Yulee High School.
Derrick Henry's senior season at Yulee High School in Florida produced staggering numbers: 464 carries, 4,260 yards, 55 touchdowns. He broke three state records and surpassed former NFL running back Travis Henry's rushing total by nearly 200 yards.
His career total of 12,121 yards eclipsed Kelvin Taylor's Florida record and Ken Hall's 59-year national mark. Henry accomplished in four years what Taylor needed five to achieve. Despite the historic production, Henry remained humble, crediting teammates and the Yulee community for his success.
