Before Clemson had its spring practices cut short, K.J. Henry was showing significant improvement in his role at defensive end.
Now in his third year in the Clemson program, the 6-foot-4, 250-pound redshirt sophomore has a better understanding of the defense. He played with more confidence. He reacted faster to what was going on around him.
He was playing with a lot more confidence.
After redshirting in 2018, everything was coming at Henry. Each play and each rep were faster, so he spent a lot of time absorbing the information, trying to understand what he was supposed to do on each play, as opposed to reacting to what the offense was doing.
