Henderson has developed into a Swiss-army knife for Minnesota.
The Gophers added former defensive back Jack Henderson from the transfer portal last offseason after three seasons with Southeast Louisiana at the FCS level, and he has blossomed into a do-it-all-player for Minnesota's defense.
He was an impressive tackler from the cornerback position in the FCS, but his 59 total tackles last season led the Gophers' defense and he's feeling even more comfortable entering his second year in Minnesota. Minnesota's secondary lost Tyler Nubin to the NFL and defensive coordinator Joe Rossi to Michigan State. Corey Hetherman comes in as the new leader of the defense after being the linebackers coach at Rutgers last season. Henderson is confident that the defense will be able to play faster in the new scheme.
