Biography
Heather Henderson joined the football staff in November of 2012 with the primary focus on assisting with on-campus recruiting. In February 2013, following the compilation of the best signing class in the program's history, Henderson began assuming more duties. She was named the director of football operations in April of 2013. As DFO, Henderson joined less than a handful of females in the position. Since 2012, Henderson has ushered the program through three head coaching changes and two complete staff changes. In the five recruiting seasons that Henderson has been with the program, the Owls have captured the top Conference USA recruiting class twice. Team travel has been elevated in all aspects, from on-campus screening to hotel amenities, and all is attributed to the details and advanced planning. Henderson has budget oversight for the program and uses that to coordinate football events such as Senior Day, the annual football awards banquet, and on- and off-campus recruiting.
