In his freshman, sophomore and junior seasons, Henson was at least third on the team in tackles, was named Honorable Mention All-MWC, and the Frogs won their bowl game.
In his senior year, he was named 1st Team All-MWC [1] and recorded 73 tackles, one sack and two interceptions.
[2] Henson was selected by the Washington Redskins in the sixth round of the 2009 NFL draft, to compete for a middle linebacker position and contributing to special teams.
[3][2] On September 21, 2009, following an "unsightly" 9-7 home victory, Henson posted some disparaging remarks via his Twitter account about fans who had booed and jeered the Redskins' performance.
Specifically he called the fans who jeered the team "dim wits", said that the same people would trade places with him in a second due to the money he was making, and that he did not appreciate being booed in his own home stadium.
