Believe it or not, Hudson Henry’s 16 receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown in 2020 were good for the fifth-best receiving total on the team.

The former four-star tight end is the younger brother of NFL star Hunter Henry and if he’s anything like his older sibling, the Razorbacks are going to be in luck. He was one of the top tight ends in the 2019 recruiting class, ranking No. 132 overall and being listed as the No. 4 tight end. He has barely even scratched the surface.

Through his first two seasons, the sophomore tight end has caught a total of 18 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown and he may be battling for snaps with Blake Kern in 2021, but I can see him having a monster breakout year.

Henry is a 6-5, 230-pound tight end from right down the street in Little Rock, Ark., and people expected big things from him right away and he’s yet to truly break out.

Expect that to change in 2021.
