Izzo ready to rely on Spartans freshman Aaron Henry

East Lansing — If Saturday’s victory at Ohio State is any indication, Aaron Henry’s role will continue to grow as the season progresses.

It’s been hit and miss through the first couple of months for the Michigan State freshman. As the only member of a five-player freshman class to be consistently in the rotation, Henry has had some big moments in wins over Texas and Iowa early in the season but has also shown the typical inconsistencies of a first-year player.

But with junior Joshua Langford out because of an ankle injury, the need for Henry to be a player the Spartans can trust has jumped significantly.
