Octavius Henderson brings rare size and experienced depth to Sam Houston’s secondary
In the 2025 season, Octavius Henderson played nine games for Sam Houston and recorded 3 total tackles, including 2 solo stops and 1 pass breakup, after transferring from SEMO; he enters 2026 as a 6-foot-3, 190-pound senior corner with one year of eligibility left. His big differentiator is length: he gives Sam Houston an unusually tall CB who can contest throws at the catch point, and his experience in the system should help him compete for snaps. The stat line is modest, but the profile says “cover length, special-teams value, and developmental upside.”
