High school
A 6'6" small forward, Henton went to Eastern High School in Lansing, Michigan, where he was a four-time first-team all-state player and averaged 22.2 points per game for his career. He left as the fourth best rebounder in Michigan prep history, averaging 14.5 rebounds per game.[1]
College career
Henton originally was set to attend Dayton, but after Dayton coach Brian Gregory left for Georgia Tech, he became new Providence coach Ed Cooley's first recruit.[1] In his freshman season, Henton averaged 14.3 points and 8.6 rebounds per game and was named to the Big East Conference All-Rookie team.[2]
As a senior, Henton enjoyed a breakout season. After leading the Big East in scoring at 19.7 points per game, he was named first-team All-conference and helped lead the Friars to their second consecutive NCAA tournament appearance for the first time since the 1988–89 and 1989–90 seasons. He was also named the USBWA District I Player of the Year[3] and an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press.[4]
Henton finished his Friar career with 2,059 points and 1,054 rebounds, becoming the second player in school history to achieve the 2000/1000 milestone (Ryan Gomes was the first).[5]
Professional career
On August 21, 2015, Henton signed his first professional contract with Spanish League team Baloncesto Sevilla.[6]
