Possibly the best end in Tiger history, Henry earned second-team Little All-American honors in 1955. As a senior, he was captain of the squad that recorded an 8-1 mark, the best season record to that point in H-SC football history. Ron was named to the prestigious Little Seven team four seasons. In four years, he played in every H-SC game, starting in all but one.

Hampden-Sydney Coach Jim Hickey called Henry "the most tireless athlete I've had in my ten years of coaching."
