TreVeyon Henderson was born on October 22, 2002, in Hopewell, Virginia, to Lakeesha Hayes and Trenton Henderson. Football was basically in his DNA—his brothers, Ronnie Walker Jr. and Kesean Henderson, also balled out at a high level. From day one, Tre was that guy, locking in on sports and making waves as a future star.
At Hopewell High, he was straight-up unstoppable, dropping 4,000+ career rushing yards and 50 touchdowns like it was nothing. His junior season in 2019? Insane. He ran wild for 2,424 yards and 45 touchdowns, leading his squad to back-to-back state titles. Sadly, his senior season got cut short by COVID-19, but that didn’t even faze him. He still locked down the title of No. 1 running back in the 2021 class, according to 247Sports. Basically, he was built differently from the start, and Ohio State was about to find that out real quickly.
TreVeyon Henderson’s College Career & Stats
Henderson wasted no time making his mark at Ohio State. As a true freshman in 2021, he went off, setting a school freshman record with 19 total touchdowns (15 rushing, 4 receiving) and 1,248 rushing yards. His breakout moment? A 270-yard game against Tulsa, breaking the freshman record.
By the time his four-year college career wrapped up, he had cemented himself as one of Ohio State’s all-time greats. Check out these insane stats:
3,761 career rushing yards (5th in OSU history)
48 total touchdowns (3rd all-time)
4,614 all-purpose yards (3rd in school history)
77 receptions for 853 receiving yards
Two 1,000-yard rushing seasons, including 1,016 yards & 10 TDs in 2024
And when it came to the College Football Playoffs, Henderson was clutch:
75-yard touchdown reception vs. Texas in the 2025 CFP semifinals
11.8 yards per carry against Oregon in the CFP quarterfinals
66-yard touchdown run in the Rose Bowl
His performances helped Ohio State win the 2025 National Championship, and by then, he had nothing left to prove—he was NFL-ready. TreVeyon Henderson is about to hit the 2025 NFL Draft, and let’s be real—the dude’s a straight-up beast. With a blazing 4.43 40-yard dash and a 38.5-inch vertical, he’s built differently. At 5’10” and 202 pounds, he’s got that perfect mix of speed and power that NFL teams drool over.
So, where’s he landing? That’s the big question. Some mock drafts have him sneaking into the late first round, while others see him going early second. The Cowboys might even be eyeing a running back in Round 2, and Henderson could totally be their guy. Scouts are already throwing out Clinton Portis comparisons, so you know he’s got that dawg in him. No matter where he ends up, you best believe he’s gonna make an impact from Day 1.
