QB Jalon Daniels has struggled with his accuracy downfield which has had an effect on Henderson's stat line most weeks. Kansas will finish the regular season with Utah and they're looking for a win to become bowl eligible.

That was a big part of Henderson's lowest target total since Week 0 against Fresno State. Henderson will have much better weeks in the future as Texas Tech may be the best defense Kansas faces all year. The Jayhawks are off next week before hosting in-state rival Kansas State.

Impact Henderson showed off his elite speed on a 62-yard-deep ball touchdown from QB Jalon Daniels. That was just one of his two touchdowns on the night. This is exactly what the receiver came over from Alabama to do and it appears that he's the guy to be one of Daniels' top targets in this prolific offense. Kansas has a much tougher opponent in Missouri next week, so it will be interesting to see if Henderson can have success against the step-up in competition.

Impact Kansas' team publicized its depth chart. Among the wide receivers, only Henderson is a non-OR option. Having stood out in Kansas' summer camp, his chart placement reflects the former. While healthy, Henderson is sure to statistically improve from his 2024's four receptions for 82 yards.

Continues to stand out Henderson has continued to stand out during Kansas' summer practice, Matt Tait of the Perpetual Sports Network reports.

Impact Kansas' offensive coordinator Jim Zebrowski was asked if any 2025 newcomers stood out in terms of their retention from the spring. The new OC mentioned Henderson, who is looking to finally have a breakout year that he never logged for Alabama. With the 2025 Jayhawks lacking proven options, there is definitely a case where he can establish himself as WR1.
