He Said It
FBS single-season tackles record holder Lawrence Flugence (Texas Tech) has taken notice and watching Henderson from afar.
"I think it's awesome, I think it's great for the game. For the longest time I wasn't sure if anyone was going to do it. I followed him last year and I saw that he got really, really close. I am rooting for him and I hope that he can do it because records are meant to be broken."
Starting Five
