(Seguin) — Seguin High School three-star wide receiver Nik Henry took to social media on Saturday afternoon to announce he has committed to play college football at the University of Texas at El Paso.
Henry is entering his senior season at Seguin. He led the Matadors in receiving in the 2023 season with 35 receptions for 766 yards and eight touchdowns in eight games. Henry was named a three-star recruit by athletic recruitment website 247Sports and Dave Campbell’s Texas Football.
Henry is also a stand-out track athlete. The Matador sprinter finished fifth in the boys 100 meter dash at the UIL Class 5A state track meet last spring. He joined Ocean Moreno, Elliot Weaver and Kayden Holz on the Seguin boys 4X100 meter relay team, which took home the bronze medal at the state meet.
UTEP is a Division I FBS program. The Miners compete in Conference USA. They are led by first-year head coach Scotty Walden.
