Michael Henig

Michael David Henig Jr. (born December 7, 1985) is an American former college football quarterback who played for the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Henig served as backup to Omarr Conner earlier in his career before assuming the starting role late in 2005.

Henig began his sophomore season in 2006 as the starting quarterback, but suffered a devastating collarbone injury in the first half of the first game against South Carolina.

Henig then led the Bulldogs to a blowout victory over Jacksonville State and heartbreaking 3-point losses against Georgia and Kentucky, and then a 24-16 upset of Alabama.

Henig was named the starter for the 2007 season, though he faced competition from junior college recruit Josh Riddell and true freshman QB Wesley Carroll.
