Seantrel Henderson (born January 21, 1992) is an American football offensive tackle for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Bills in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Miami. Henderson attended Cretin-Derham Hall High School and originally signed a letter of intent to play college football at the University of Southern California, but was released from his commitment in July 2010 and eventually committed to the University of Miami.
When Henderson was in high school, Tom Lemming called him "a cross between Jonathan Ogden and Orlando Pace," two of the best offensive tackles in the NFL in the 2000s;Sports Illustrated called him "probably the most polished lineman of the past decade."
Henderson was considered the top overall player in his class by a number of recruiting services; Rivals.com named him their 2008 Junior of the Year, while USA Today named him to their All-American First-Team as one of only two juniors. Henderson made the All-USA team in 2009 again, and was also named Offensive Player of the Year, the first lineman to do so in the 28-year history of the award.
He was also featured in a July 2008 issue of Sports Illustrated, profiling young athletes poised to star in their sports, alongside Taylor Hall and Jeremy Tyler.
In 2009, Henderson helped Cretin-Derham Hall to a 5A state championship and was named Minnesota Player of the Year by the Associated Press. It’s believed to be the first time the annual award has gone to a lineman.
