HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A Hutchinson Community College wide receiver was booked into jail Monday afternoon on marijuana possession with intent to distribute charges.

Police also say 21-year-old Cameron Cordell Henderson had the pot within 1000 feet of a school. His name was briefly dropped by Coach Drew Dallas as among the strong returners to his 2021 football squad at HutchCC at the conference's media day in July.

Henderson was the fourth-leading receiver on the national championship team last year and played in all eight games with 20 receptions for 267 yards and two touchdowns. Given his experience, it's likely Henderson would get even more playing time this fall. The school has not commented on Henderson's arrest.
