You want to talk about a big-time name who will finally emerge? Let’s talk about DE K.J. Henry.

Making the first start of his career Saturday, K.J. Henry is going to make his name known early and often. Henry has bulked up over the offseason and is now stronger and more explosive than he has ever been before.

As he takes on the role as a starter, look for him to come away with some big plays and maybe even a couple of sacks. Henry is going to be noticed by Clemson football fans before the night is over and we’ll look back at this game as the overall ‘breakout performance’ from the talented redshirt sophomore.
