WATCH: Clemson defensive end KJ Henry gets fired up cheering for Clemson softball
The 2022 NCAA Tournament is underway for women’s softball and on Saturday, Clemson defensive end K.J. Henry showed some support for the Tigers’ softball team. Check out the footage below of him getting fired up after a Clemson pitcher struck out the batter.
Not only was Henry cheering, check out those epic rainbow wrap around shades he was rocking today. He’s a man that knows how to dress in style, even in the stands.
Valerie Cagle did it all for the Clemson women’s softball team on Saturday, pitching a complete game shutout and scoring the game’s only run to give the Tigers a 1-0 victory over the Auburn Tigers. Cagle pitched all seven innings in the win. For the rest of the schedule for Clemson and all the other teams in the 2022 NCAA Tournament, check that out here.
KJ Henry was one of the most highly touted prospects in America
Henry had the opportunity to declare for the 2022 NFL Draft at the end of last season but decided to come back to Clemson instead. He finished with 21 tackles with 6.5 tackles for a loss and four sacks. The redshirt senior is expected to once again be one of the best players on the Tigers’ defensive line.
Coming out of high school, Henry was a five-star prospect according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting services. He ranked as the No. 2 edge in the country and No. 1 player out in the state of North Carolina. Henry was the No. 7 overall player in the 2018 recruiting class and one of three Clemson commits inside of the top 10.
Clemson will have their annual spring game taking place on Saturday, looking to get on the rack track heading into the fall. After not making the College Football Playoff or even winning the ACC Championship last season, Henry and the Tigers will be looking to prove they can get back to the top. They will open the season on Sept. 5 against a conference opponent, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
