College career

Henton redshirted the 2006 regular season and was a member of the practice squad. He played backup for Todd Boeckman in 2007 and subsequently saw little playing time, completing only 3 passes for 57 yards and one touchdown.

[ [http://www.wtoctv.com/Global/story.asp?S=8555188 WTOC, Savannah, Georgia, news, weather and sports | Antonio Henton in Statesboro ] ] Unofficial speculation is that his transfer was prompted by the recent signing of much heralded prep-phenom Terrelle Pryor, who is the starting quarterback at The Ohio State University.
