Michael David Henig, Jr. (born December 7, 1985, in Montgomery, Alabama) was an American football quarterback. Henig served as backup to Omarr Conner earlier in his career before assuming the starting role late in 2005. His 2006 season was marked by injuries, but he was the MSU starting quarterback for 2007.
Michael Henig prepped at Jefferson Davis High School in Montgomery, Alabama. He started his senior year and led the team to an 8-3 season, passing for 1339 yards and 14 touchdowns. In the summer of 2003, he was one of just 100 quarterbacks nationwide to be selected to the EA Sports Elite 11 quarterback camp.
Henig played in only one game in the 2004 season at Mississippi State. Backing up Omarr Conner, he completed one pass for nine yards in MSU's game against Vanderbilt. A separated shoulder prevented him from playing any more that season, and he received a medical redshirt for the year.
Henig began his redshirt freshman season again as the backup to Omarr Conner. He played in 5 of the first 8 games of the season and was named the starter before the 9th game, against Alabama. Henig ended the season on a high note with a 35-14 over archrival Ole Miss.
Henig began his sophomore season as the starting quarterback, but suffered a devastating collarbone injury in the first half of the first game against South Carolina. He missed the next 4 games entirely, and did not return until the West Virginia game when Omarr Conner received a severe injury. Henig then led the Bulldogs to a blowout victory over Jacksonville State and heartbreaking 3-point losses against Georgia and Kentucky, and then a 24-16 upset of Alabama. Henig reinjured his collarbone in the following game against Arkansas and missed the rest of the season.
