One of the eight players who left Syracuse this offseason has found a new home.
Earlier last month, Troy Henderson‘s name was very quietly added to the Kennesaw State football program’s official online roster. As he has already graduated from Syracuse, and the Owls play at the FCS level, the linebacker will be eligible to play immediately in 2018.
Not only that, but Henderson will have another year of eligibility that he can use in 2019 as well.
Henderson was a three-star 2015 signee. He was the highest-rated defensive signee in the Orange’s class that year.
After redshirting as a true freshman, Henderson played in six games the past two seasons. Only one of those appearances came in 2017, which likely played a significant role in his decision to move on from the ACC school.
In addition to Henderson, running back Akeem Dixon (HERE), defensive end Justin Ellis (HERE), defensive tackle Kayton Samuels (HERE) and four defensive backs — Juwan Dowels, Daivon Ellison, Cordell Hudson and Rodney Williams — have all left the Orange in the last few months.
