Henry is the next man up in the long ling of Alabama Heisman hopefuls, and based on the work he did as part of the tandem with T.J. Yeldon, he’s got more than what it takes.
If he stays healthy, Henry could have a record-breaking type season for the Crimson Tide, and pick up plenty of hardware to go with it. Alabama once again will be sending out one of the best offensive lines in the nation to help Henry along his journey.
This will be the first season that Henry will be the number one guy in the backfield coming out of camp, so he’ll have to prove to be just as durable as he is tough and fast, although his 172 carries were only 22 less than Yeldon had in 2014.
