Henderson joined junior wide receiver Jayden Reed in announcing his plans to return this week.

Thank you Spartan Nation for an amazing 2021 season. Your support was unmatched and meant so much to my teammates and I. I ain’t really have enough to say to put on a picture but I’ll be back for next year
