The WVU football staff added another late addition to their 2026 recruiting class on Friday morning.

Defensive lineman K.J. Henson officially joined the class, coming over as a junior college prospect out of Hutchinson Community College.

The 6-foot-3, 290-pound Henson was initially committed to Minnesota, but decided to not sign with the Golden Gophers on Wednesday’s Early National Signing Day.
