State of the Hogs: Henry remembered for role in Hurricane Harvey rescue

The Cajun Navy is famous for harrowing rescues in flood ravaged areas of the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of hurricanes. There are stories of heroic missions in small boats after Katrina, Harvey and many other storms.

Jon Gipson needed help well before the Cajun Navy arrived in Houston in August 2017 in the Harvey floods. Joseph Henry was his one-man Navy.

Gipson reached out to a reporter after reading a feature story on Henry to detail the new coaching staff hired by Sam Pittman at Arkansas. Henry, former Arkansas player, was hired as a quality control assistant coach this winter.
