Jay Henry brings size, leverage, and steady production to Tarleton’s defensive front
In the 2025 season, Tarleton State’s Jay Henry posted 8 tackles, 3 solo stops, 1.5 tackles for loss, and 1 sack while holding down a 6-foot-3, 275-pound frame that fits the modern interior/outside hybrid DL mold. He’s a junior from Oviedo, Florida, and the buzz around him is more about sturdiness, motor, and role flexibility than flashy stat-chasing. That makes him a solid fit for a defense that wants a dependable, physical lineman who can set edges, squeeze gaps, and do the dirty work without needing the spotlight.
