His junior season, Henry transferred to play at Mater Dei High School. His junior season was cut short due to a knee injury.

Last Saturday Henry Jr in his first game as a Senior … No. 1 Mater Dei [Santa Ana, CA] raced out to a 26-3 halftime lead, and then held on in the second half for a 26-23 win over the St. Thomas Aquinas [Fort Lauderdale, FL].

Henry Jr. had 2 TD catches, one for 22 yards the other for 81 yards. 

Henry Jr this past week donated 50 pairs of cleats to the Withrow football program.

Just a few cleats offered on the Adidas site—

Depending on what cleats were donated the total cost could be close to $5,000.

Three schools in four seasons, an NIL deal…this is not your ‘grandpa’s high school football’. Yes…high school football does have an ‘unofficial’ transfer portal, quite active too.

Henry Jr has committed to Ohio State.
