With TJ Yeldon heading to play on Sundays, the lion’s share of the carries will go primarily to Henry. While Tyren Jones and a (hopefully) fully recovered Kenyan Drake will get some carries, Henry will be the featured back. Cam Robinson is only getting better, and a senior at center in Ryan Kelly will mean an offensive line that will give Henry some great opportunities to showcase his freakish size and speed.
