Auburn Tigers commit registers 79-yard pick-6 in national showdown

On November 2, 2024By Littum

Big players make big plays in the biggest games.

So it’s safe to say that St. Frances (Maryland) star and Auburn Tigers commit Wayne Henry is a player to watch moving forward.

Friday night, St. Frances against IMG Academy (Florida) in one of the biggest high school football games in the country.

While St. Frances prevailed to a 30-3 victory, it could have been a game.

Coincidentally, Henry made sure it wouldn’t be.

IMG Academy tried to get back into the game trailing 23-3 in the fourth quarter, but drove but threw an interception to Henry that he returned 79 yards for a score, securing the win.

Henry, a Class of 2026 prospect, committed to Auburn in August, choosing the Tigers over offers from Florida, LSU, Michigan State, Penn State and others.

It’s easy to see why the coveted defensive back was wanted up and down the East Coast.

He is clearly a special playmaker.

And he showed that on Friday night.
