Why four-star MUS OL Marcus Henderson is choosing between Arkansas and Ole Miss football

Four-star MUS offensive lineman Marcus Henderson said that he's focused on two schools heading into signing day on Wednesday — Ole Miss and Arkansas.

"It's just the feel and the fact that my parents would be able to make it out to the majority of the games," Henderson said. "And I feel like I can be developed by either one of those o-line coaches. The programs are on the brink of being right where they used to be"

Ole Miss was the most recent official visit for the 6-foot-5 offensive lineman who is ranked No. 11 in the state according to the 247Sports Composite. He was in Oxford on Jan. 17. He also took official visits to Arkansas (Dec. 13), and Missouri (Nov. 23).

Missouri dropped off of Henderson's list after it fired coach Barry Odom. Arkansas coach Sam Pittman has since hired Odom and former Missouri offensive line coach Brad Davis to his staff. Arkansas has since flipped White Station offensive lineman Ray Curry, who was committed to Missouri. 

Henderson began listing Ole Miss as one of his top schools during the fall and it has remained on the list while it fired Matt Luke and brought in Lane Kiffin. 

"I think Coach Pittman will come in and have Arkansas right within the next two years," Henderson said. "Coach Kiffin is notorious for being that coach who gave Nick Saban a hard time when he first got into coaching at Tennessee. Both of the staffs have good track records of putting people in the NFL and it's just connections at both schools."

Henderson said he plans to announce his signing Wednesday morning with a signing day ceremony at MUS.
