Sam Henson brings veteran leg strength and a bounce-back story to Minnesota
In the 2025 season, Sam Henson was a redshirted veteran kicker for Minnesota after arriving as a graduate transfer from Concordia-St. Paul, where he made 13 of 24 field goals in 2021, drilled 33 PATs, and showed a long of 48 yards. His appeal is the combo of Big Ten-ready size, kickoff production, and experience through adversity: he missed the 2023 season with injury and was also limited by an undisclosed issue in 2025. If your team wants an older, battle-tested specialist with real leg talent and a resilient profile, he’s the kind of guy coaches love to trust.
