Hall of Fame
Taking Griffon Football's passing game to a whole new level from 1975-76, Joe Henry's all-time marks are timeless. Henry was the most productive wide receiver for Missouri Western during the first 23 seasons of the program as the only receiver logging 1,000+ receiving yards in a single season. Henry hauled in 1,016 yards in 1975, ranking him fifth among only six Griffons all-time with 1,000+ seasons, earning him First Team All-District 16 and All-American Honorable Mention honors that year.
In 1976, Henry was voted team captain headed into his senior season. His 660 receiving yards garnered him a spot on the All-CSIC First Team, cementing him second all-time with 19.04 yards per catch and third with 4.2 receptions per game. After graduating from Missouri Western in 1977 with a Bachelor of Science in Health and Physical Education/Fitness, Henry was recently honored in 2019 as a part of Griffon Football's All-Decade 1970s Team.
