Injuries kept the Omaha native and graduate of Burke High School from playing a full season in his first year. According to Nebraska Athletics, he made his Husker debut in 2019 against No. 15 Wisconsin, playing on special teams. It was the only game he appeared in his redshirt season.

“Henrich earned his 14th consecutive start in the season opener (this year) against Northwestern, when he finished with nine tackles,” the NA website states, also noting that he started five games this year and totaled 37 tackles.
