KJ Henry has taken full advantage of his redshirt freshman season. He’s gotten stronger, he’s bigger, he’s learned from the seniors, and he won a National Championship along the way.
Now he’s ready for his time.
Henry is the former 5-star defensive end out of North Carolina that played in four games this season. He saw his last action in Clemson’s 63-3 victory at Wake Forest in early October, then shut it down so he could retain his year of eligibility. A new NCAA rule allows for players to play in as many as four games before losing a year, and with depth across the board, the decision for Henry to sit out the rest of the season was an easy one.
