Jason Henderson is an elite, high-intensity tackling machine whose NFL-caliber production was derailed by injury
In the 2023 season, Henderson was one of college football’s most disruptive linebackers, finishing with 170 tackles and 19.5 tackles for loss, after leading the nation in tackles in 2022 with 186.[1][15][16] His value goes beyond the box score: he is a proven sideline-to-sideline playmaker, a former team captain, and a rare linebacker with historic career production—444 tackles and 11.6 tackles per game, fourth in NCAA history.[1] The main concern is durability, as recurring knee injury issues limited him to only one game in 2024 and one in 2025 before he stepped away from football.[1][16]
