Henderson ran for a school record 394 yards against Anderson and tied an NCAA record with 8 rushing TDs against the Ravens. Henderson's record day earned him a spot on the D3Football.com National Team of the Week (11/16/19). Henderson ended his Black & Gold career as the school's all-time leading rusher with 3,969 yards and his 53 rushing TDs are the most in school history.
In 2018, Henderson led the HCAC after rushings for 1,268 yards and 17 TDs; the Spartans’ rushing offense finished third in school history with 1,940 yards on the season, while finishing tied for first in all of NCAA Division III in least tackles for loss allowed per game.
