Collin Henry brings size, active tackling, and early ball production to EIU’s secondary
In the 2026 season, Eastern Illinois DB Collin Henry has already posted 11 total tackles and 1 interception, and his 6-foot-3 frame gives the Panthers a long, rangy defensive back with real coverage upside. The eye-catcher is the profile: he arrived as a redshirt sophomore and a late-blooming defender, and his background suggests growth potential more than finished-product polish. If you want length, willingness to hit, and a player who can keep developing into a true outside presence, Henry is worth a serious look.
