Florida’s C.J. Henderson tweets early move to NFL, will sit out bowl game

After a brief respite, the draft announcements have kicked back into gear.

By way of his personal Twitter account, C.J. Henderson announced Friday afternoon that he will be foregoing his remaining eligibility and making himself available for the 2020 NFL Draft. As is ofttimes the case, the cornerback wrote that he came to the decision “after much prayer and consideration.”

The player also announced that he will not be playing in Florida’s bowl game.

Henderson, a four-star 2017 signee, took a redshirt for his true freshman season. Since then, the Miami native has been a two-year starter for the Gators. This season, Henderson leads the team with 11 pass breakups in just nine games played.

Henderson is expected to be one of the top corners available in the upcoming draft.
