Michigan State football notched a win over Central Michigan on Friday night and Tyrell Henry’s circus catch was the talk of the town.
Tyrell Henry had himself a nice little opening-night performance for Michigan State football.
The second-year receiver looked really good in the punt return game and he returned a kick 26 yards as well. He also made an appearance on the offensive side of the ball, making one of the best catches you’ll see all year.
In the third quarter, a second-and-goal throw from Noah Kim to Henry in the end zone looked to be a little off-target, but the talented wideout reeled it in with one hand over his head. Oh yeah, and he was interfered with.
This was Henry’s only catch of the night and he made it count. Many expect him to be a breakout performer this season and he didn’t disappoint. He clearly has some hands on him.
We didn’t see a ton of Henry on the offensive side of the ball, but he set Michigan State up with some decent field position in the return game. He’s going to be doing a lot of that this season. It just feels like a return touchdown is in order. Henry is just a freak athlete.
And that touchdown reception in the third quarter on Friday night was probably the best catch of the season so far. Yes, I know it’s only been a week, but the Spartan wideout’s one-handed reception will be hard to top.
Henry’s catch made its rounds on social media as all the major accounts shared the beauty of a touchdown reception. Hopefully this sparks some confidence and he takes off moving forward.
I have high hopes for Henry with Michigan State football. And I think it’s fair to say that we all need to buy stock now.
