Michigan State football: Tyrell Henry vows to “show out” in Keon Coleman’s absence

Despite losing Keon Coleman, Michigan State football may have a rising star at receiver on the roster. Tyrell Henry vowed to “show out.”

With Keon Coleman likely gone for good, can Michigan State football fans turn their attention to one specific receiver on the roster to have a breakout season?

There are a number of options like Antonio Gates Jr., Montorie Foster, Christian Fitzpatrick, Tre Mosley, and Jaron Glover, but it feels like Tyrell Henry is on the verge of a big year.

We saw Henry play primarily special teams as a true freshman but he flashed some athleticism with his kickoff returns as well as his kick coverage. He was tabbed as a potential breakout candidate when spring ball started, and it looked like he was impressive the coaching staff.

And fans are starting to have high hopes for Henry but he has even higher expectations for himself.

In response to Coleman’s farewell post on social media, Henry shouted out his former teammate and vowed to “show out” like he wants Keon to do moving forward.

Love family… Taught me a lot, show out for me, ima do the same ? https://t.co/2iLeonBzzA

Coleman responded by telling Henry that it’s his turn to cash in and I couldn’t agree more. Henry has a golden opportunity in front of him as a dynamic receiver with starting spots up for grabs. While he’s not as big as Coleman, standing 6-foot-0, 175 pounds, he’s still a talented wideout who has the tools to be a star in this offense.

You also love to see this confidence from Henry heading into year two.

Although he doesn’t have a single offensive statistic to his name, I think he’s going to be one of the surprise performers on the team in 2023. I could see him finishing with around 300-400 receiving yards and a few touchdowns before breaking out fully in 2024.

Coleman’s departure is going to let these young guys grow.
