Former Vol Travis Henry Gets Three Years In Prison
Published by MoonDog on July 16, 2009
Former Tennessee Vols running back Travis Henry has been sentenced to three years in federal prison for financing a drug trafficking operation that moved cocaine between Denver and Montana.
Henry, 30, of Frostproof, Florida was arrested by federal drug agents last October – just a few months after his release from the Denver Broncos.
He pleaded guilty in April to a single count of trafficking cocaine. In handing down Wednesday’s sentence, U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull also gave Henry five years of probation upon his release and recommended that he enter a 500-hour drug treatment program.
Henry has said that at the time of his arrest, he was struggling to keep up with child support payments after fathering at least nine children with nine women.
Henry was instrumental in helping Tennessee win the 1998 BCS national championship, with his best performance coming in the closing minutes of the Vols come from behind win over Arkansas.
