Askew-Henry was drafted as part of the Phase 4 XFL draft in the 4th round by the Guardians. He finished the season with 11 tackles and 6 pass defenses. He infamously threw a penalty flag back at a referee after holding call during a game against the LA Wildcats.

He played his college ball at West Virginia where he had 170 tackles, 4 interceptions and 12 pass defenses in 38 games. He later signed as an undrafted free agent with the Pittsburgh Steelers but was cut at the end of pre-season in 2019.

Askew-Henry is the cousin of former New York Jets star DB Darrelle Revis.
