Henry has a similar build (6'5", 185 lbs) and skillset as his father which led to his recruitment really taking off after visiting several camps. He held offers from Boston College, Cincinnati, Connecticut, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Penn State, Pitt, Purdue, Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas A&M, USC, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and several others.

We are a long way from Henry putting to pen to paper, so don't count West Virginia completely out just yet although pulling off a flip will be challenging.

Since the passing of his father, Henry Jr. and his siblings have been adopted by another former Mountaineer, Adam "PacMan" Jones.
