As a senior, Henton enjoyed a breakout season.

He was also named the USBWA District I Player of the Year and an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press.
Henton finished his Friar career with 2,059 points and 1,054 rebounds, becoming the second player in school history to achieve the 2000/1000 milestone (Ryan Gomes was the first).
