Last year, Luke Reynolds went from an unheralded three-star player to a top-50 prospect during his senior season. Willt he same be true of Henderson? We discuss his physical tools and what he shares in common with those players that came before him in the recruiting process.We'll also discuss what Penn State looks for in a tight end prospect.

We highlight certain physical indicators on today's show that indicate potential growth. From there, we'll discuss the other characteristics of a tight Nittany Lion end.Discussing the team's current playersAfter reviewing the recruiting situation, we turn our attention to the position on the Penn State roster.
