Top-50 Prospect Savannah Henderson Picks Georgia
May 18, 2022 | Women's Basketball
ATHENS, Ga. — Savannah Henderson, a consensus top-50 prospect nationally, has signed with the Georgia Lady Bulldog basketball team, Katie Abrahamson-Henderson announced Wednesday.
Henderson, a native of Orlando, Florida, will be an incoming freshman during the 2022-23 season for the Lady Bulldogs. This past spring, she was an early enrollee at UCF.
"My staff and I are extremely excited to welcome Savannah to our UGA family," Coach 'ABE' said. "Savannah is a long, athletic wing player who is an excellent shooter and has the ability to score in many different ways. With Savannah's wing span and athleticism, she will fit perfectly into our defensive philosophy where she can play multiple positions. I am thrilled about the impact she will have on our program, and I know Dawg Nation will enjoy watching Savannah play over the next four years."
Henderson was ranked as the No. 41 overall prospect and the No. 10 wing player in the 2022 class by ESPN. The four-star product earned an Elite 150 ranking from Prospects Nation and was a McDonald's All-American nominee.
The 6-foot-3 Henderson prepped at Timber Creek High School in Orlando and played for the Central Florida Elite AAU squad.
She led Timber Creek to three-straight district championships, one regional title and a Final Four appearance in Florida's Class 7A state tournament. It marked the first Final Four appearance in program history.
Henderson finished her prep career as Timber Creek's all-time leading scorer with 1,094 career points. She averaged 14.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in her final season and was selected to the Orlando Sentinel First-Team All-Area team during her time at Timber Creek.
In the summer of 2021, Henderson was named the Eastbay National Student-Athlete of the month for her accomplishments both on and off the court.
Henderson is the daughter of Georgia head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson and her husband, Michael.
