Confidence setting Henry up for a better season

Before Clemson had its spring practices cut short, K.J. Henry was showing significant improvement in his role at defensive end.

Now in his third year in the Clemson program, the 6-foot-4, 250-pound redshirt sophomore has a better understanding of the defense. He played with more confidence. He reacted faster to what was going on around him.

He was playing with a lot more confidence.

After redshirting in 2018, everything was coming at Henry. Each play and each rep were faster, so he spent a lot of time absorbing the information, trying to understand what he was supposed to do on each play, as opposed to reacting to what the offense was doing.
