Even in Morgantown when he played defense, Henderson played safety in either cover 2 or cover 3. This spring, he’s dedicating his craft specifically to linebacker and continued special teams play with the Hilltoppers.
Henderson joined Western Kentucky as a walk-on and redshirted in 2017 before making contributions on special teams last season. He came to WKU as a quarterback, then switched to linebacker last spring when depth issues arose at the position.
He started mainly on kickoff return and punt team. The highlight of his season came against Ball State on Sept. 22 when he ran a fake punt 11 yards for a first down.
