Henry was named a Division I second-team all-district selection on defense on Monday.
He earned a national recruiting spotlight this past summer before entering high school, receiving an invitation to the 2026 Under Armour All-America Game in June, and shortly after, he received a scholarship offer from The Ohio State University.
Henry has added several other college football opportunities since this past spring with scholarship offers to West Virginia, Marshall and Grambling State in April.
