Earlywine on Henry: “He brings a presence in the post. He’s about 230 pounds right now, but he should develop into a 240-pound freshman. He can really rebound the ball and affect the game in the paint. As I watched (Washington State’s) DeAngelo Casto impact the game in the paint with his athletic ability against us (on Nov. 16, 2009), that’s what I think Jaylen can do. He’s a quiet, humble person who is a very good student.” 

High School: Graduated from Cheyenne High School in 2010. In his senior season, Henry averaged 13.4 points, 1.0 assists, 1.2 blocked shots and 11.4 rebounds per game.

He had six points and 12 rebounds in a 73-57 win against Pacific Hills, the school his future Eastern teammate Geoffrey Allen played for (Allen did not play in that game). Cheyenne finished 20-8 overall and 13-3 in the Northwest League. As a junior, Henry averaged 9.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 assists while making 52 percent of his shots from the field.
