Cedric Henderson brings fresh, active-edge energy to Murray State’s front seven
In the 2026 season, Murray State sophomore defensive end Cedric Henderson has opened with 5 tackles in the opener against Eastern Illinois, showing active pursuit and reliable run support even without a sack yet. He’s a compact 6-foot, 220-pound edge from Houston’s North Shore pipeline, which suggests a twitchy, hard-nosed profile rather than pure length-based dominance. The appeal here is motor and discipline: he looks like a developmental fit for a staff that wants consistent effort, physicality, and a player who can keep growing into his frame.
