Good News:Four-star 2025 Virginia TE Matt Henderson Announce his commitment to penn state for 2025 season!!
Penn State has picked up a commitment from Virginia tight end Matt Henderson. The 6-foot-5, 210-pound prospect out of Powhatan, Virginia announced his decision to commit to the Nittany Lions on Tuesday night.
Henderson was a prospect offered by Penn State late last month after Penn State tight ends coach Ty Howle was able to see the newly ranked four-star prospect in person. While the Nittany Lions haven’t hosted Henderson since his offer, the Powhatan standout has been to Happy Valley in his recruitment, making trips last October as well as this past January.
It’s been a successful offseason for Henderson who has added offers from Maryland, Michigan State, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, and Virginia Tech. He also had other FCS offers including Harvard, William & Mary, and Yale.
Henderson is the 13th commitment of the Nittany Lions recruiting class and currently the only prospect who projects to a tight end at the next level. Notably, current commitment Brady O’Hara, plays tight end for North Catholic High School outside of Pittsburgh but projects to be an offensive tackle at the next level.
In his X announcement, Henderson stated, “I am very excited to announce my commitment to Penn State University. Without their guidance and efforts, I would not be able to achieve my dreams doing what I love. I want to give my sincere appreciation to all the amazing people who have made me into the person and player I am today, including my parents, family, friends, and coaches, along with a great community behind me.”
Henderson caught 74 passes for 1,113 yards and 14 touchdowns for Powhatan last season.
