Henry announced on March 2 that he was entering the transfer portal.

In two years as a Red Raider, Henry carried the ball 161 times for 681 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also compiled 283 receiving yards and a touchdown.

The best performance of his Texas Tech career came against his new school, when he rushed for 111 yards and four touchdowns against Houston as a freshman in 2018.

After six straight winning seasons, Houston took a step back in its first year under new coach Dana Holgorsen, finishing the 2019 season 4-8.
