Scouting Report
Henson is a quick, athletic, and disruptive three-technique defensive tackle. He has totaled 32 tackles, six tackles for loss, and five sacks this season. The Gophers will need to rebuild their defensive line in the offseason, as Deven Eastern, Jalen Logan-Redding, and Rushawn Lawrence are all set to depart. Henson figures to be part of the plans to replace them and help build a bridge to underclassmen like Jaylin Hicks and Riley Sunram.
