2027 CA S Khalil Terry (Michigan St. Decommit)

Khalil Terry decommits from Michigan State​

An OSU safety target in the 2027 class has reopened his recruitment. Four-star California safety Khalil Terry decommitted from Michigan on Monday following significant interest from several big schools, including Ohio State. In his decommitment announcement, Terry said he’d put out a top seven list in the coming weeks.


Terry camped at OSU earlier this summer and lived in Ohio before moving to California, so the Buckeyes definitely have a shot here if they want to make a strong push for him. Per 247Sports’ composite rankings, Terry is considered the No. 201 prospect and the No. 21 safety in the 2027 class. Last year, he recorded 52 tackles, five tackles for loss, four interceptions and six pass breakups in 11 games.

Ohio State was originally supposed to host only two 7-on-7 tournaments this summer. But the demand from high schools was higher than usual, so the Buckeyes added a third tournament to their slate. The extra camp took place on Monday, with a lighter schedule than usual, as only 16 teams competed in the tournament compared to the usual 32.
Nonetheless, while it was a sparse crowd at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, one prospect in particular stood out: 2028 Florida signal-caller Wonderful “Champ” Monds. Monds had already earned an offer from OSU, but wanted an opportunity to be coached by quarterbacks coach Billy Fessler and Ryan Day. Both Day and Fessler were at Monds’ side throughout most of the day, offering instruction and tips to further his game as he quarterbacked the House team. The velocity and touch on his throws stood out significantly compared to any other prospect in attendance and it was pretty clear why Day and Fessler are bullish on the 6-foot-2, 225-pound underclassman.
“Coach Fessler has done a good job coaching me to help teach me techniques to make my throws more accurate,” Monds said Monday. “Help my feet be more on time with my throws, Really, I’m learning everything on the fly. It’s been a great experience so far.”
Eleven Warriors will have more on Monds’ visit to OSU later this month. But for now, a key takeaway is that the Buckeyes are clearly very high on him early, and their relationship could be worth monitoring going forward.

RB TreVeyon Henderson (National Champion, New England Patriots)

“HE WAS SUCH A GREAT PLAYER.” In an interview with Forbes’ Oliver Thomas, Patriots running backs coach Tony Dews revealed he had done his homework on TreVeyon Henderson before New England selected him in the 2025 NFL draft.

Eight years of it, actually.

“I tried to recruit him back in high school years ago when I was at West Virginia,” said Dews, who was the running backs coach for the Mountaineers in 2017 before entering the NFL ranks with Mike Vrabel’s Tennessee Titans. “He snubbed me (laughs). But it was good to be able to reconnect with him. Obviously, I’m very excited about him.”

Now that Dews has circled back with Henderson, what excites him most about the No. 38 overall pick?

“First and foremost, he’s a great human being, he’s a great person and a great kid,” he said. “And then obviously the physical attributes. He’s certainly fast. He brings a speed element to our team that obviously anytime you can get a guy that’s as fast as he is, it is beneficial for the whole offensive unit and on special teams. And then, he caught the ball well out of the backfield. He did a really good job, I thought, in pass protection. And in the time I got to spend with him, he seemed to pick up concepts fairly quickly.

“With all those things, you feel like you’re getting a good prospect, and we’ll have to see how it materializes from there.”


Henderson hopes it materializes into an impactful role as a rookie. Given his talents as a ballcarrier, pass catcher and blocker, that role could be as a third-down back, just like three-time Super Bowl champion James White carved for himself across eight NFL seasons with the Patriots between 2014-21.

Interestingly, Henderson told MassLive’s Karen Guregian last week that he’d taken inspiration from White’s game as he prepared for New England’s minicamp.

“James White… shoot, he dang near looked like a receiver,” Henderson said. “Man, he was a great running back here.”

Whether White or Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs, Henderson said he studies the NFL’s best ballcarriers to gain an advantage on his opponents.

“I really try to work on every aspect of my game,” Henderson shared. “Running the ball, pass protecting, catching. Every aspect of my game, I’m trying to get better.”


When it comes to White, however, Henderson sees something different.

“Just his great receiving ability,” Henderson said. “One-on-one matchups, it seems like he’s winning every time. … He was such a great player. He made a huge impact to help his team win games. … I want to continue to watch film and study him and learn and grow as a player.

“Coach (Josh) McDaniels, he’s a great offensive coordinator. He does a great job featuring the running backs, so the biggest thing, I just want to continue to listen as a player and take coaching.”

With the Patriots on a break until preseason camp, Henderson told Guregian he has the rest of his offseason mapped out.

“The biggest thing is just staying in the playbook and making sure I stay conditioned,” Henderson said. “Once you come in, fall camp comes on you like that. You don’t want to be thrown off guard and out of shape.”
