Henderson was hired not only for his NFL-level expertise as a defensive line coach but also for his enthusiasm for recruiting players. His efforts have paid off, as he now ranks #2 for his 2025 recruiting class.

Meyer made a significant impact in 2022, recording 40 tackles, including five for loss, four sacks, and a forced fumble. In 2023, he transitioned to a specialized rotational pass rush role, achieving the third-highest number of quarterback pressures on the defense despite playing the 14th most snaps.
