Senior receiver Will Henry capped his Nebraska career in 2010 by serving in a reserve role at receiver. The 6-5, 215-pound Henry was one of the hardest working members of the Husker receiving corps throughout his career, and the result has been an increase in playing time in his senior season. Henry has seen increased playing time in the past two games with fellow senior Niles Paul sidelined by injury.
