CONFIRMED: Star Derek Henry Nearly Commits to FSU Football…

Alabama and current NFL star Derrick Henry revealed on The Pivot Podcast that he nearly transferred to Florida State in college.

The Florida State running back would’ve looked a lot different with Henry in garnet and gold.

Dalvin Cook was a superstar running back for Florida State from 2014 to 2016. During his time in Tallahassee, the Seminoles could have been even more stacked at the running back position.

Henry was featured at Alabama from 2013 to 2015 where he posted 3,591 rushing yards and 42 rushing touchdowns in his college football career. A majority of his production came in his final campaign with the Crimson Tide before he took off to the NFL as an eventual second-round pick.

“But me and coach [Nick] Saban had a talk and I eventually ended up staying and everything worked out,” Henry continued.

“At the time, I was like — how these kids are now, they go to one school then leave. I was really thinking about going to Florida State. I was almost close to leaving and going to Florida State,”

Henry said on the podcast.While the what-if of Henry joining the Seminoles is an intriguing thought and things would have looked much, much different in Tallahassee, it might have been the best for Henry to remain in Tuscaloosa under the leadership of Saban, arguably the best college football coach of all time.
