WINSTON-SALEM, NC – Clemson defensive end KJ Henry walked out of the Clemson locker room late Saturday afternoon holding a box of Krispy Kreme donuts and promptly offered them to members of the media waiting for interviews. Henry, selfless and generous, has turned into the no-doubt leader and voice of a defense that needs leadership more than ever.
That defense was thrown at, thrown over, penalized, and gashed for 337 passing yards and six touchdowns by Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman Saturday in the Tigers’ 51-45 victory over the Demon Deacons.
But during the late stages of the game, when the Tigers trailed and when Wake had the chance to win the game, Henry was seen talking to every position group.
