CLEMSON – The Clemson Tigers are hosting the younger brother of a household name in Death Valley Saturday. K.J. Henry, now a Washington Commander, was a star over five years at Clemson and now there could be another Tiger in the Henry family.
You might expect him to be a football player, but Henry’s brother is a star on the basketball court. 2025 guard Isaiah Henry, a standout for Cannon School (N.C.) is a three-star recruit that holds eight Division-I offers, including the Tigers.
Henry is making his official visit to Clemson for the Wake Forest game, and it’ll be a key day for the Tigers to get closer to landing their first 2025 commitment.
Ahead of the day, K.J. Henry made sure that Clemson fans knew to give his brother a warm welcome.

The guard position is an important one to sure up for Brad Brownell and his staff, and a strong impression from Dabo Swinney and the Tiger football team would help tremendously. As of Saturday,
Clemson has no guard commits over the next two classes and the importance only rises when Joseph Girard III and Chase Hunter are nearing the ends of their college careers.
Landing Isaiah Henry would help mitigate those losses in the future, and his versatility as a taller gusrd at 6-foot-4 would present another dynamic for Brownell’s squad. Building that relationship Saturday would go a long way for the Tigers to add him to Clemson’s future.
