Henry is the seventh Roadrunner to have participated in the NFL Scouting Combine, joining Spencer Burford<\/a> (2022), Marcus Davenport<\/a> (2018), Zah Frazier<\/a> (2025), Sincere McCormick<\/a> (2022), David Morgan II<\/a> (2016) and Tariq Woolen<\/a> (2022).<\/p>\n

A native of Lumberton, Mississippi, his next step in the process will be an appearance at UTSA\u2019s annual Pro Day on March 18. The NFL Draft is scheduled for April 23-25 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Frazier wrapped up his UTSA career in 2024 by earning All-America accolades from two different publications. He was named to Phil Steele\u2019s Third Team and was selected for honorable mention recognition by CBS Sports.<\/p>\n

A native of Lumberton, Mississippi, Henry became the third Roadrunner to crack the 1,000-yard barrier on the ground this past fall, rushing for 1,045 yards and nine touchdowns on 151 attempts, good for an average of 6.9 yards per carry. An honorable mention All-American by Phil Steele and first-team all-conference running back in 2025, he posted five 100-yard games highlighted by a season-high 177 on only 16 totes against eventual College Football Playoff participant Texas A&M. Despite missing two games due to an injury, he also had six plays from scrimmage of 70-plus yards, including five rushes. His 1,045-yard output puts him third on UTSA\u2019s single-season rushing yardage list.<\/p>\n
