Uncommitted five-star pass rusher KJ Henry is nearing his decision date and says he would strongly consider signing with a school that hires his father, Keith Henry, the running backs coach at Charlotte.

Here's what Henry, whose finalists include Clemson, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Virginia Tech, said after Monday's Shrine Bowl practice via The State:

“Out of my five schools, if my dad were to end up anywhere, obviously that’s what he loves to do and he is part of my family and I like all five schools enough to where that could be a big decision coming forward. It’s nothing where it is an analyst type deal or anything like that, but if he could go in and coach that would be big.

“At the same time, we have already talked about that. He is not pressuring me like if he were to get a job he’s letting every coach know that doesn’t ensure that I’m committing there. It’s still my decision, but it is definitely something I think about.”
