Seth

Henigan

An exclusive rights free agent, Ajiake had 32 tackles and played 70 percent of the Colts special teams snaps this year. He also saw some sparse time at linebacker, with 157 defensive snaps over 16 games. The Colts also agreed to terms with RB Ulysses Bentley IV, CB Wyett Ekeler, DE Viliami Fehoko Jr., G LaDarius Henderson, QB Seth Henigan, T Bayron Matos, C Jimmy Morrissey, TE Sean McKeon, S Trey Washington, WR Coleman Owen, DT Tim Smith, G Bill Murray, DE Durell Nchami, S Ben Nikkel, WR Eli Pancol and G Josh Sills on reserve/future contracts.

Henigan, 22, could be the emergency third quarterback for Week 18 against the Texans. The former Memphis signal-caller went undrafted in 2025 and spent most of the season in the Jaguars’ system.

After three years with the Dolphins that yielded just five total games on the active roster, Ezukanma has taken his talents to Atlantic Beach. Joining Ezukanma on Jacksonville’s practice squad are: WR Chandler Brayboy, OL Jerome Carvin, LB Branson Combs, QB Seth Henigan, TE Patrick Herbert, RB Ja’Quinden Jackson, OL Ricky Lee, CB Keni-H Lovely, TE Quintin Morris, DB Jabbar Muhammad, DL Keivie Rose, DB Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig, WR Dorian Singer, OL Sal Wormley and DL Matt Dickerson. It’s a strong collection of names and we definitely didn’t do this blurb just to point out that Keni-H Lovely is a great manga.

Jacksonville head coach Liam Coen called Henigan a “coach’s kid with a ton of production and a natural stroke.” Henigan (6’3/215) was a four-year starter at Memphis who left school as the AAC’s all-time leader in passing yards (14,266) and passing touchdowns (104) while also throwing 31 interceptions. The raw counting numbers are impressive, but Henigan’s accuracy numbers (64 percent career completion percentage) never stood out, nor did his arm strength, but he possesses decent athleticism to evade defenders and did well when it came to protecting the ball, throwing 31 interceptions in 50 career games while boasting a respectable 2.7 turnover-worthy play rate. When you factor out rushing yards lost on sacks, Henigan ran for 1,346 yards and 10 scores in his career. Henigan will make plays with his feet when needed. His experience as a starter will make him an interesting player to track in training camp, but his inability to make consistent plays beyond the short area of the field will likely limit his overall upside.

Henigan (6'3/200) had to make up for a morose running game that couldn’t get any traction against Tulane’s front-seven. He did a nice job of piloting the Memphis offense, connecting with Rodrigues Clark on a 15-yard screen pass for a touchdown and Garbriel Rogers on another 13-yard scoring strike to help keep the Tigers ahead. It marks the sixth time in his last seven games that Henigan has thrown for multiple touchdown passes, and fourth times he has thrown for three or more touchdowns this season. The redshirt freshman has thrown for over 300 yards six times and finishes the year with 3,328 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

The first half was not kind to Henigan (6'3/200) and the Tigers, struggling in putting up three points. On the first drive of the second half, Henigan threw an interception that luckily didn’t turn into Houston points as Clayton Tune returned the favor. On the ensuing possession, Henigan had his best drive of the game, leading to a five-yard touchdown pass to Asa Martin. That was the end of the good for Henigan, as the Tigers only amassed three points the rest of the night, along with an interception to end the game. Memphis finishes off their regular season next Saturday against Tulane.

Henigan (6'3/200) gave Memphis its first points on the day when he connected with wide receiver asa Martin on a 31-yard touchdown to put the Tigers up 7-0 early. Henigan connected with wide receiver Eddie Lewis in the second quarter on a 74-yard touchdown, and found wide receiver Sean Dykes on a two-yard touchdown to put Memphis back up 20-16 in the third quarter. Henigan and the Tigers would go for the win in overtime on a two-point conversion, but failed to covert on the attempt, as they fell 30-29. Memphis will travel to Houston for a matchup with the Cougars next Friday night.

Henigan (6'3/200) missed the previous game with a hand injury, and it drastically affected the Memphis passing game that simply could not get rolling with backup Peter Parrish at the helm. He showed no signs of the hand issue in this game, as Henigan unleashed 53 passes while guiding the Tigers to a 472-to-323 total yardage advantage over the Mustangs. He had to pretty much go it alone as well, with Memphis gaining just 40 yards on 37 carries. His best play came on a 27-yard scoring strike to Javon Ivory on a gutsy fourth-and-11 where he threw a bullet to Javon Ivory on a well run post pattern late in the third quarter to put the Tigers up two scores. He will try to record his sixth 300-yard passing game next Saturday against ECU.

Earlier reports in the week out of both Henigan (6'3/200) and head coach Ryan Silverfield were that there was little concern over Henigan missing Friday’s game. Now, we are left to speculate on whether or not Henigan’s hand injury is worse than expected after backup quarterback Peter Parrish got the start against UCF. We’ll wait for reports after this game to see if any more clarity on the situation is provided. Henigan has been impressive this season, having completed 60.6% of his passes for 2,154 yards, 16 touchdowns and four interceptions, leading Memphis to a 4-3 start.

Neither Henigan (6'3/200) or head coach Ryan Silverfield were worried about Henigan’s hand after the Tigers opted for a precautionary approach on Thursday night against Navy, with Henigan only attempting 12 passes on the evening. It was the fewest passes Henigan has attempted in any game on the season, but he appears to be set for Friday night against UCF.
