100 Days of Summer: Get to Know No. 33 Kevin Henry

We’re on the eve of the start of fall camp and just over one month from the start of college football. Let’s continue our countdown with a linebacker that saw the field in all 13 games as a freshman in 2016.

How he got to OSU

A three-star safety out of Baton Rouge, Henry was originally committed to hometown favorite LSU. He was a versatile, three-sport athlete who earned Louisina 4A all-state honors in football . Henry also held offers from the likes of Miami and Ole Miss.

What he’s done in Stillwater

After a redshirt season in 2015, Henry played in every game last year. Since arrival two years ago, the 6-3, 205-pound safety has transformed himself into a 230-pound linebacker with the speed and versatility needed for Oklahoma State’s Star linebacker role. He got his feet wet in certain coverages and on special teams in 2016 and could be looking at an increased role in 2017.

Role in 2017

Linebacker may be the most underrated position group in both talent and depth at OSU. But if you can play, you’ll see the field. Especially with the amount of plays Glenn Spencer’s crew will be put through over the course of a Big 12 season. Expect the increase of number (28 to 33) to coincide with an increase in reps.

Noteworthy stats and highlights

Henry had a career-high five tackles against Texas Tech last year. He assisted on a tackle for loss against Colorado in the Alamo Bowl. And he showed off his playmaking ability, snagging his first career interception during last year’s homecoming game. The play would effectively ruin West Virginia’s perfect season and give Mike Gundy his 100th win. Here’s a look.
