“He different”: 4-star Houston Cougars commit Keisean Henderson and teammates give their verdict on Ashton Jeanty vs Barry Sanders

Keisean Henderson, a four-star athlete from Legacy School of Sports Sciences, sat down with his high school teammates and chimed in on the Ashton Jeanty vs. Barry Sanders debate.

Henderson, with his teammates D’Andre Frazier and Brayden McNeal, raved about the Boise State running back's performances to begin the season.

OT7 shared a clip of the class of 2026 teammates talking about the possibility of Jeanty breaking Sanders' record of most rushing yards and touchdowns during a CFB season.

"Do you think Ashton Jeanty gon break Barry Sanders' record?" Henderson asked his teammates, as per OT7's Instagram post.
"To be honest, yeah ... He different," came the answer from Frazier.

Jeanty has racked up 1,248 rushing yards so far this season. He is on pace to break the NFL legend's record of 2,628 yards this season. Sanders set the record back in 1988 en route to winning the Heisman Trophy with Oklahoma State.

The Boise State running back is also in contention to break Sanders' touchdown record. He currently has 17 rushing touchdowns from six games of the season and has a legitimate shot at tracking down Sanders' record of 34 rushing touchdowns in a single season.
