Ta'Zhawn Henry had the high school football play of the year Saturday night. The 5’6″ running back from Lamar High School in Houston, Texas ran a sweep to the right and hurdled not one, but two defenders on his way to the end zone.

Watch carefully:

That is one of the most ridiculous plays I’ve ever seen at the high school level. He actually hurdled a full five yards in the air.

Here’s another angle:

That’s just absurd.

Even Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was impressed:

The diminutive Henry is the 10th-ranked all-purpose back in the 2018 high school class on the 247 composite. After that highlight I’m sure he’s going to get noticed a bit more.
