TreVeyon Henderson is a football phenom

Henderson enrolled at Ohio State in January to get a head start on his college football career. Henderson was rated as the top-running back prospect in America, according to the On3 Class of 2021 rankings.

On3 also rated Henderson as the 20th best overall prospect in the 2021 recruiting class. He’s listed at 5-foot-10-inches, 215-pounds and attended Hopewell High School (Hopewell, Virginia).

He didn’t play his senior season of high school football due to his school moving their season to the spring of 2021.

The gifted tailback was finally named Hopewell’s starting running back as a junior and he responded in a big way–by rushing for 2,424 rushing yards and 45 touchdowns.

In his career at Hopewell, TreVeyon Henderson compiled over 4,000 yards rushing with 50 touchdowns and helped Hopewell win its second consecutive state championship in 2019.

Loaded Ohio State class of 2021 recruiting class

Henderson was not the only big-time commitment the Buckeyes reeled in the 2021 recruiting cycle. The Buckeyes don’t rebuild, they reload. They also landed the 19th best overall prospect in On3’s class of 2021 rankings, quarterback Kyle McCord out of St. Joseph’s (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). McCord played at St. Joseph’s with another Buckeyes commitment in the 2021 class, wide receiver Marvin Harrison, Jr.

There’s plenty of other talented prospects in the Buckeyes‘ 2021 class.
