RB TreVeyon Henderson (Official Thread)

“I see things like that,” Henderson told Eleven Warriors of the expectations of being the next Elliott, who was his favorite Ohio State player to watch growing up. “Those are just peoples’ opinions, and I don’t really let those things get ahead of me and get too big-headed from what they say. I think I handle it well. I’m pretty humble so I don’t really let those things get to me.”

He’s also putting in time in the film room by getting a gauge of players like Alvin Kamara, Dalvin Cook and players from years past such as as Chris Johnson, Walter Payton and the greatest running back of all-time (in at least one writer’s mind), Barry Sanders.

“I don’t really try to model my game after nobody,” Henderson said. “I just try to be the best I can be and show people how versatile I am and how I’m a threat all over the field. But I watch a lot of film of college running backs and NFL running backs, and a lot of running backs who played back in the days. I just take notes. Just gotta take notes on what they do.”

Probably the No. 1 player he watches game film of, though, is the running back who Ohio State’s coaches see him eventually molding himself into over his three- or four-year career in Columbus: J.K. Dobbins.

“(Ryan Day’s) vision, the main thing is that he wants me to be an every-down back like the role J.K. Dobbins played,” Henderson said. “They believe I can come in and play the same role that he played, and I believe I can too.

“Running through tackles, running aggressive, I have that speed where I can break away long runs and things like that. I can catch out of the backfield, I can move out to receiver out of the backfield. … They see me doing pretty much everything.”

I hope he gets a realistic shot to start next season. I fear Teague is going to be the 1 RB by default and he is probably not going to be the 4th best back on the roster.

I could also see a rotation the first few weeks until Day starts to ride the hot hand. And its very realistic that Tray has big games after the Oregon game

RB TreVeyon Henderson
Even with the rise of Trey Sermon late in the season, there seemed to be something missing from the Ohio State backfield for much of the year. That could change if TreVeyon Henderson adapts to life at Ohio State early. Henderson has all the tools to be an elite running back, even during his first year in the program. He has the quickness, agility and vision to steal the starting job in the backfield from the loaded batch of competition. The spring will go a long way in determining whether he can do just that in Year One. Henderson is a special player despite not playing his senior season of high school ball. The No. 1 back in America for his class has a chance to prove that.

“I JUST WANTED MY BOYS TO GROW UP AND DO SOMETHING WITH THEIR LIVES”

If not for their mom’s efforts to keep them away from a life going down that path and if not for special, natural athletic and academic talents and strong work ethics from Lakeesha’s three boys, things may have turned out quite different for...
  • Ronnie Walker Jr. – A two-year scholarship running back at Indiana who played in 22 games before he transferred to his home state to play for the Virginia Cavaliers.
  • TreVeyon Henderson – One of the most-anticipated running back recruits in Ohio State history, one who has the potential to be a true freshman starter for a national championship contender and has a ceiling as an eventual first-round NFL draft pick.
  • Kesean Henderson – A freshman running back/linebacker in the class of 2024 who played on Hopewell’s junior varsity team as an eighth-grader and who already has Virginia knocking on the door with a scholarship offer.
