Al Football: Derrick Henry Supposedly Has Surgery, May Miss A-Day

If you were expecting to see freshman running straight back Derrick Henry all through Alabama's A-Day spring sport, you'll need certainly to wait just a little longer. Described by Chase Goodbread of Rivals, the fascinating running back has received surgery to correct a leg fracture he suffered throughout an Alabama scrimmage, based on his senior school coach, Bobby Ramsay. Do not fear Tide fans, Henry should really be ready quickly enough, as Ramsay told Goodbread: "I think he had a dish place in it, but I was told he must certanly be 100 percent by July," said Ramsay, coach at Yulee (Fla.) High. "A child like him, with the task ethic he's, I would expect him to truly have a quick recovery. Obviously, he is unhappy. But I talked to him and I think his spirits are going to be great. He knows this is not as bad being an Achilles (tendon) or even a knee injury. And I told him it's easier to have something like this happen now than in September." Amen to that particular. James is one of many more interesting 2013 recruits for Alabama this season. At 6'3", 240 pounds, you generally do not see running backs this size. Though Henry is not your normal running right back, as the all-time high school was set by him rushing report, which is one of Alabama fans that are made by the things all giggly inside. According once his foot rolled beneath him to the survey, Henry hurt herself on a handle. "I had three calls from the 205 area code Saturday evening, and I knew that probably was not good," Ramsay said. "I knew no one was calling I to be told by me he set a scrimmage rushing record." Working straight back is arguably the biggest position for the Crimson Tide, and it is important that Henry continues to really have a good offseason. With people such as T.J. Yeldon, Kenyan Drake, Jalston Fowler and the others all competing for playing time, Henry must produce a name and begin to separate himself from the group. With this injury to Henry, Alabama now enters the spring sport with only two healthier scholarship athletes in Yeldon and Drake leading the way, according to the record. Because of his size and the hype surrounding him heading into the spring, it'll undoubtedly be a bummer perhaps not being able to see him in a game-like atmosphere. But, with therefore many accidents occurring this spring for the duration of school baseball, Alabama fans may at the very least be happy understanding this injury will likely not risk the forthcoming year.
