Linebacker Henderson verbally commits to Syracuse’s Class of 2015

St. Edward (Ohio) High School outside linebacker Troy Henderson verbally committed to Syracuse’s Class of 2015 on Tuesday night, he announced on Twitter.

Henderson is listed at 6 feet, 1 inch and 215 pounds by Scout.com. The site rates him as a three-star prospect and he chose Syracuse over Rutgers and Nebraska, according to his Twitter. He also received offers from Cincinnati, Western Michigan and Toledo, among others.

He is the third outside linebacker in the class, along with two-star commit Shy Cullen and three-star commit Daiquan Kelly, and joins three-star safety Marquise Blair as the only other member of the class from Ohio.

Henderson becomes the 23rd verbal pledge of the Orange’s recruiting class. SU’s 23 commits are the most of any team in the country. At this time last year, Syracuse had eight verbal commits and didn’t get its 23rd until Feb. 5 of this year.
