The Auburn Tigers record a 79-yard pick-6 in the national showdown

Great players do great things 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 keep an eye on going forward.

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

While St. Frances cruised to a 30-3 win, it could have been a struggle.

It’s just that Henry made sure it wouldn’t be like that.

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

Listen:

Henry, a Class of 2026 graduate, 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 prized defensive back was coveted across the East Coast.

He is clearly a special playmaker.

And he showed it on Friday evening.
