Speedy wide receiver Nik Henry was ranked a 3-star prospect by 247. Henry will be a senior this fall on the Matador football team. As a junior in 2023, Henry led Seguin in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. The wide-out had 35 receptions for 766 yards and eight touchdowns in eight games played.
