“Track was my focus. That was what I wanted,” she recalled recently. She said her sprinting career was curtailed by a serious knee injury suffered when she was recruited to run hurdles in a meet, without having done it before. “To know that my son has taken that torch and he’s going on with it the way I wished I could have — I want to see him break it for those purposes,” she said.

“He said ‘Ruggs, you’re a five-star in football. You’re a five-star. Give it a chance,” recounted Nataki Ruggs, Henry’s mother, to ESPN last year.
