VFL John Henderson is set to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

The National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame announced today the 2025 College Football Hall of Fame Class.

From a release on utsports.com:

“Henderson becomes the 27th Vol to be enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame and the third in the last five years. Eric Berry was Tennessee's most recent inductee in 2023. Of the 27 inductees, 23 were enshrined as players and four as coaches. The 23 players represent the second-most among SEC programs and the seventh-most nationally.

“A two-time consensus first team All-American (2000, 2001), Henderson claimed the 2000 Outland Trophy as the best interior lineman in the nation while finishing as a finalist for the Nagurski Trophy as the nation's best defensive player the same year. A two-time first team All-SEC selection from 2000-01, Henderson was also named the SEC Defensive Player of the Year in 2000. He was a finalist for the Outland Trophy again in 2001.”

Henderson was selected at No. 9 in the first round of the 2002 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was a two-time Pro Bowler.
