He played two seasons for the West Virginia Mountaineers and averaged 8.0 points per game as a freshman. Henderson increased those numbers to 11.7 points and 2.9 rebounds per game as a sophomore while making 17 starts. In 2014 he transferred to NC State, choosing the Wolfpack over Maryland and Richmond.[1] After sitting out a redshirt year per NCAA regulations, he played seven minutes of their first match against William & Mary and broke the ligament of his right knee, which left him out of competition for the rest of the season.[2] Once recovered, in his only full season with the team he averaged 13.8 points and 3.1 rebounds per game and led N.C. State in 3-pointers (78). Henderson applied for a sixth year of eligibility but was denied by the NCAA in May 2017.[3]
