TreVeyon Henderson | Player Introduction
The collegiate career of TreVeyon Henderson is a tale of peaks and valleys. He burst onto the scene as a true freshman in 2021, rushing for 1,248 yards and 15 TDs while adding 27 receptions for 312 yards and 4 more TDs. This earned Henderson freshman All-American and second team All-Big 10 honors. His sophomore year was plagued by injuries and saw a massive dip in production.
Henderson somewhat returned to form in 2023, nearly eclipsing 1,000 rushing yards and received first team All-Big 10 recognition. He returned to school for his final season in 2024, sharing a backfield but becoming more efficient back. His 7.1 YPC was the best of his career, and he hit the 1,000 yard rushing mark for the first time since his freshman season.

No. 5 Overall Prospect | Ranked as RB2
The players vying for the RB2 spot in my 2025 Rookie Big Board are a tight group that is very fluid leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft. At this point, TreVeyon Henderson takes the RB2 mantle as the best of the two Buckeye running backs.
While Henderson set a high bar after running for 1,248 yards in his freshman season, he did cross the 1,000-yard mark in his senior campaign, finding the end zone 10 times in the process. Henderson’s most impactful (and sometimes forgotten) part of his game is his receiving ability, as he tied his freshman year mark with 27 receptions. His ability to turn short passes into big gains gives Henderson a real upside in the RB class.
Doc Matthew Mitchell’s Top 50 Rookie Big Board
No. 6 Overall Prospect | Ranked as RB3
Judkins’ running mate at Ohio State is next on my Rookie Big Board 2.0. This years class, from a dynasty perspective, revolves around the RB position. TreVeyon Henderson is one of the most explosive RBs in the class. He has been a big play waiting to happen since his arrival at OSU. Many thought that he would be the top RB selected in last year’s draft class. However, he chose to return to college and helped lead his team to a national title. He ended up with his second 1,000 yard rushing season of his career along with a career best 7.1 YPC (yards per carry).
I personally see Henderson as a playmaker at the next level. He fits into the mold of an Alvin Kamara or a Jahmyr Gibbs. He can be deployed as a weapon in the passing game as well as the running game. Henderson can take over and be your workhorse, but he is best suited working in tandem with another runner, allowing both to be fresh and effective. Henderson will be taken in the first 3 rounds of the NFL Draft and solidify his position as a 1st round dynasty rookie pick.
Keith Ensminger’s Top 50 Rookie Big Board
No. 10 Overall Prospect | Ranked as RB5
Had he declared last season as expected, TreVeyon Henderson would have been the premier RB of that 2024 class. He is patient, decisive, and elusive, and he seemed to have found himself again as Ohio State ran to a National Championship. He may have been quiet and taken a backseat to his teammate Quinshon Judkins in the National Championship game, but his 75 yard reception against Texas in the semi-finals was the stuff of end-of-season highlight films.
Like his teammate Quinshon Judkins, Henderson only gained value through his play in the 2025 College Football Playoffs. He is a fantastic prospect, combining NFL size and speed to be molded into a team’s RB1 of the future. Dynasty managers who draft him should also count themselves as fortunate. With his running skills and ball-catching abilities, this pick may be Henderson’s floor depending on his landing spot.
Tristan Cook’s Pre-NFL Combine Rankings
No. 2 Overall Running Back
I have TreVeyon Henderson as the top RB in Tier 2, because I believe that Henderson’s skillset aligns very well with what the NFL currently looks for in a running back, so he gets the edge for me. After a couple underwhelming seasons in 2022 and 2023, Henderson returned to form this season. His explosiveness might be the best in the class.
Henderson is a dual-threat weapon. He has the ability to catch a pass out of the backfield or hit a hole on a run play and turn it into a touchdown in a hurry. His athleticism is routinely on display and will be highlighted throughout the pre-draft process. I think he’ll be drafted as potentially the second RB off the board, likely on Day 2 of the NFL Draft. Sign me up as the president of the “TreVeyon Henderson is the RB2” fan club.
TreVeyon Henderson | Draft Outlook
Currently, Henderson is receiving some late-1st Round NFL Draft buzz. While that would be a bit of a surprise, it would not be a surprise for TreVeyon Henderson to be drafted within the first 50 picks of the NFL Draft. It’s possible that he’ll fall into the late 2nd Round. For dynasty rookie drafts, Henderson will likely be a mid-1st round selection, sometimes falling to the late 1st. If he falls into the 2nd round, he’ll be an extreme value.
