Gamecock transfer Cason Henry lands with new school in ACC
Another former South Carolina offensive lineman has found a new home.
Cason Henry will be joining the Louisville Cardinals, according to multiple national reports Wednesday.
Henry was one of seven USC offensive linemen to hit the transfer portal, with five so far finding new schools: Trovon Baugh (Texas A&M), Nick Sharpe (Michigan State), Tree Babalade (Nebraska) and Boaz Stanley (Purdue).
Henry, a former three-star prospect from Marietta, Georgia, started all 13 games at right tackle for South Carolina in 2024 and started the first four games of the 2025 season before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury against Missouri. Among offensive linemen with at least 100 snaps, Henry was the Gamecocks’ top-rated run and pass blocker, per Pro Football Focus’ analysis.
