TreVeyon Henderson displayed explosiveness at the combine that showed why many draft analysts predict him as the RB2 in the 2025 NFL Draft.
TreVeyon Henderson was a 5 star recruit at Ohio State and broke out as a true Freshman with over 1,500 total yards and 19 Touchdowns. While injuries limited him to only 18 games across his Sophomore and Junior year, he decided to return to Ohio State for his Senior season to play alongside Quinshon Judkins, where he stayed healthy for 16 games en route to a National Championship.
While he only had 144 carries in 2024, he was still able to amass over 1,000 rushing yards, averaging just over 7 yards per carry and illustrating his explosiveness. During the combine, he ran a 4.43 40-yard dash and had a 38.5″ vertical and 10’8″ broad jump- all great marks.
While he doesn’t project as a bell cow at the next level, Henderson clearly has juice that NFL teams and fantasy managers will covet. Henderson’s combine performance solidifies him as a top running back in this draft class and exciting asset to own in Fantasy Football.

Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson is headed back to the Buckeyes for his senior year.
Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson is headed back to the Buckeyes for his senior year. Henderson will be joined by recent Ole Miss transfer Quinshon Judkins, forming one of the most fearsome running back tandems in all of college football.
Henderson, a five star recruit, had a great 2023 rushing for 926 yards, 11 touchdowns, and added another 229 yards through the air on 19 receptions, all while splitting the backfield. Henderson was projected to be the first running back drafted in 2024, unfortunately fantasy managers will have to wait another year to see Henderson don an NFL jersey. Great news for Braelon Allen, who now becomes the favorite to be the first running back chosen in the 2024 NFL Draft.
