Stephen Henderson brings early-depth, run-stopping upside to Youngstown State's DL room
Henderson is a developing **defensive lineman** who already earned game action as a redshirt freshman in 2025, appearing in seven games and recording two tackles while contributing on special teams, after redshirting in 2024.[5] His high-school profile suggests his value is in **disruption and versatility**: he played DE/OLB and tight end, posted 42 tackles, 8 TFLs, 6 sacks, and forced two fumbles as a senior, which points to an aggressive, physical edge player who can affect plays in the backfield.[5] For a team, he looks like a **projectable rotational piece** with upside if his pass-rush burst and leverage continue to develop.[5]
