LaDarius Henderson

UPDATES

Week 5: The big guard transfer had by far his biggest workload of 2023. Henderson was in on 58 total total snaps, almost doubling his season high to that point. The extra work might have adversely impacted Henderson in pass protection, as he allowed three pressures, including one hit on QB J.J. McCarthy. His run blocking graded out better. — JH

Week 4: Henderson's snap count (30) jumped exponentially in the Wolverines' 31-7 win over Rutgers. The big tackle may still need to time to get used to the increased workload as he his play against the Scarlet Knights wasn't as strong as in previous games. He allowed one pressure but went through the game with no penalties called on him. — JH

Week 3: Henderson got in on 17 snaps in Michigan's win over Bowling Green. The transfer left tackle played well, especially in pass protection, where he didn't allow a pressure in the five passing plays he participated in.

Week 2: The Arizona State transfer saw his snap count (11) stay pretty much the same as in the season opener (nine). Henderson didn't allow a sack or pressure as the Wolverines' offensive line helped QB J.J. McCarthy (22-of-25, 278 yards and two TDs) continue his impressive start to the 2023 season. — JH

Week 1: The highly touted transfer from Arizona State played sparingly in Michigan's win over East Carolina. In his nine snaps, Henderson did not allow a sack, hurry or pressure as the Wolverines handily won, 30-3. — JH
