Ta’Zhawn Henry | 5-6 157 LBs | Lamar HS

One of the smallest backs in recruiting circles, Henry is a 3-star all-purpose back from Texas. He currently holds offers from Houston, Toledo, and Tulsa.

Henry is the guy that I personally want. He can play return man and running back, something that Ole Miss has needed ever since Jeff Scott graduated from the University.

I would love to see what Phil Longo and company could do with Henry.

If Ole Miss would offer Henry, I think he is an automatic commitment. Longo has experience recruiting the area and could preach his ability to run the ball to Henry.

Ole Miss is not dead yet, despite losing Akers to Florida State. The Rebels still have a season to prepare for in 2017.

This investigation is killing Ole Miss, and the coaches have said that they would not recruit another running back outside of Akers, but now that he is gone, do they stick to their word?
