• Regarding Henderson, Alford said the third-year running back has been "excellent" this offseason in his efforts to recover from foot surgery in the winter. Although Henderson couldn't practice with full contact this spring, Alford believes he would be ready to carry a significant workload when Ohio State plays Indiana on Sept. 2.

RB TREVEYON HENDERSON
Henderson didn’t come close to rivaling his record-setting freshman campaign in year two, but don’t expect that downward trajectory to continue into 2023.

The Virginia native’s 1,560 yards from scrimmage and 19 total touchdowns in 2021 put him on the map as one of college football’s elite returning running backs in 2022, but injuries halted his ability to prove that on the field at every turn. As a result, Henderson only appeared in eight games for Ohio State, finishing his second season with 599 yards from scrimmage and seven total touchdowns before undergoing foot surgery ahead of the Buckeyes’ College Football Playoff matchup against Georgia.

It was clear that Henderson wasn’t himself as a sophomore, but the extent of his ailments wasn’t revealed until after the dust settled on the 2022 season.

“Basically I couldn't push off that whole last season. Every time I tried to push off I was basically refracturing that bone,” Henderson said this spring. “And then I tore some ligaments and tendons. So my foot was basically beat up. … It was moments where sometimes I'd be hopping around or it would take me a while to really hit the hole. And that's just because I knew that if I would plant my foot, that I would basically refracture that bone. Even when I was getting tackled, like at the beginning of every game, as soon as I'd get tackled, I'd basically retweak my foot.

“I was just thinking about it all the time. Going into the game, you don't want to be thinking all the time, you just want to go out there and do it.”

Now fully healthy ahead of preseason camp, Henderson is hell-bent on showing fans that this past season’s slip in production was nothing more than a fluke. Henderson will have to contend with as much competition for carries as he’s ever had, with Miyan Williams, Chip Trayanum and Dallan Hayden all hungry for a bigger workload in 2023. But if he returns to form and can progress even further from the flashes of superstardom we witnessed in his freshman year, Henderson won’t have to worry about opportunities in the Buckeye offense.
