A.J. Henning’s path to Michigan, outlook for 2022

Speed kills, and Michigan receiver A.J. Henning has a lot of it. Henning’s made his presence known in a variety of ways at a variety of different positions for the Wolverines.

The story so far

Henning was ranked as the No. 102 overall prospect and No. 18 receiver in the 2020 class. A four-star prospect out of Lincolnway-East (Frankfort, IL), Henning received major interest from Notre Dame, and said his decision between the Fighting Irish and the Wolverines was “very close”, but Henning said Michigan felt like home.

During Henning’s senior season he excelled as a running back and as a pass-catcher — recording 52 receptions for 835 yards with 13 touchdowns, with 648 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns.
