"Daron is a great addition to our program," said Hayford. "He is an exceptional shooter and will fit very well into our offensive scheme. His addition to our campus is something we as a staff are very excited about and I look forward to him having a strong senior season."
Henson saw action in 10 games during his junior season at Washington State. He finished 10-of-25 from deep, leading the team at 40& three-point shooting.

He scored in double figures seven times that season, including a career-high 18 points at Fresno State on Jan. 27, 2017. Henson averaged 4.3 ppg and hit 38 threes during that season.
Henson went on to play his sophomore season at Salt Lake Community College, averaging 12.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game as he started all 28 games. He would lead SLCC to a 20-9 record during the 2018-19 season.
