Aliquippa grad Henry's role grows at WVU
West Virginia sophomore safety Dravon Henry earned the trust of the coaching staff so much that his responsibilities this season likely will be expanded to include special teams.
Henry, who helped lead Aliquippa to four consecutive WPIAL championship games, started all 13 games for the Mountaineers as a freshman. He recorded 45 tackles, two interceptions and two pass breakups.
Henry's grasp of the defense prompted the coaching staff to consider giving him more responsibility.
“He is progressing really well. It is night and day from where he was last year,” WVU coach Dana Holgorsen told the Tribune Review. “We talked in our staff meeting about putting him on special teams. He didn't play a single snap last year, because he couldn't handle being a full-time starter as a true freshman and be able to do additional things. There was a lot of times where he was lost a year ago, even in games. He wasn't as physical, and he wasn't triggering the right way.”
