Henry can’t wait to get back home and see his fans

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper denied requests from in-state schools to allow parents and families of coaches and players the opportunity to watch their college football teams play in person this past weekend.

The decision has ignited a firestorm in the state and struck a chord with Clemson defensive lineman K.J. Henry.

The top-ranked Tigers rolled Wake Forest 37-13 on Saturday night. But Henry, a Winston-Salem native was disappointed that his first trip back home happened without close friends and family cheering on from the stands but is more excited than ever to play in front of the Tiger faithful.
