Arkansas Football: 5 signees who’ll have instant impact in 2019

Being the younger brother of Arkansas tight end legend and former All-American Hunter Henry comes with high expectations. Hudson Henry is every bit as talented as his older brother, but time will tell if he is capable of piecing together the same three-year career with the Razorbacks.

Landing Henry was a huge win for Chad Morris, especially since he came in to Henry’s recruitment late, taking over for Bret Bielema, but the change of coaches didn’t seem to scare the four-star in-state tight end away.

Henry has impressive hands but isn’t the quickest player on the field. He lined up at receiver a good amount for his high school team in Little Rock, Ark., but he caught a ton of passes because of his size advantage and aggressiveness. That’s not to say he doesn’t have any speed, but he’s not going to burn any defenders down the field.

As a senior, he caught an incredible 94 passes for 1,309 yards and 14 touchdowns and if he can put together even a fraction of that production in 2019, he’s going to be a valuable asset for the Razorbacks.

Henry is ranked the No. 132 overall prospect and fourth-best tight end in the 2019 class and will be fighting for snaps with seniors Austin Cantrell and — presumed starter — C.J. O’Grady.
