WATCH: Former Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson shares why he wears No. 32
WATCH: Former Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson shares why he wears No. 32 Buckeye Nation will always have fond memories of former running back TreVeyon Henderson. He came to Ohio State as the No. 1 running back in the country according to some recruiting services and quickly flashed on the scene, running for over 1,000 yards during his freshman campaing. He was besieged by nagging injuries the next two seasons but battled his way through it to still be a very productive back, and then finished things off last year by going over 1,000 yards again, all while splitting time with Ole Miss transfer running back Quinshon Judkins. It all culminated in taking home the first expanded 12-team College Football Playoff national championship. If you watched Ohio State the last four seasons, we don't have to tell you what number Henderson wore when toting the rock in the Scarlet and Gray. His No. 32 was very recognizable except for the times when he was a blur breaking off explosive plays out of the backfield. But did you know the reason he donned the No. 32, ever since he was basically in Pee-Wee football? Watch as Henderson explains why he wore his number of choice and continues to wear it with his new team, the New England Patriots. It has everything to do with his grandfather and honoring him. Henderson grew tremendously at Ohio State both on and off the field. He went from becoming an electric and fast runner to perhaps the best blocking back in the NFL draft. He also developed into a great option in the passing game out of the backfield. More than that, he became a leader because of his faith and growth as a person.

Patriots Rookie RB Treveyon Henderson Compared to Lions Star Jahmyr Gibbs
Patriots Rookie RB Treveyon Henderson Compared to Lions Star Jahmyr Gibbs originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After a national championship season with the Ohio State Buckeyes, TreVeyon Henderson now finds himself battling for a role on an NFL roster. Advertisement The New England Patriots selected the star running back 38th overall in this year's NFL Draft. Henderson is a versatile back, but with Rhamondre Stevenson returning as the established starter, Henderson's place in the New England offense is up for debate. According to Nick Goss of NBC Boston, the former Buckeyes star could be in for a similar role as Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs, calling him a "do-it-all type." "He [Gibbs] ran the ball 12 times per game as a rookie and 15 times per game in his second season. He also caught about three passes per game both years," Goss wrote. Ohio State's longest run against Akron was a 21-yarder by TreVeyon Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Gibbs has displayed incredible speed and versatility in the NFL, while Henderson played many roles for the Buckeyes as well. Gibbs ran a 4.36 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine in 2022, while Henderson ran a 4.43 in this year's combine. Advertisement Goss went on to describe the Patriots' running back room as a position group that could end up being one of their best. "Stevenson can be a top 15 running back when healthy, Gibson is a talented pass-catcher and Henderson could be a do-it-all type," Goss wrote. "It's a real luxury for [Offensive Coordinator Josh] McDaniels to have this much talent and depth to work with." Stevenson is entering his fifth season, while Gibson is entering his sixth. As a young second-round pick, Henderson brings fresh legs to a position that has a short shelf life. His draft status alone will have fans clamoring to see him on the field. Expect Henderson to have some role development through training camp and the preseason.

Patriots RB coach admits TreVeyon Henderson snubbed him in college
Patriots RB coach admits TreVeyon Henderson snubbed him in college Rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson may be a national champion and a former Ohio State Buckeye, but that wouldn't have been the case if New England Patriots coach Tony Dews had his way. Dews revealed that he pushed hard in recruiting Henderson all the way back in 2017, when he was still the running backs coach for West Virginia. He knew the talent was electric back then, and he was determined to add a potential game-changer to the Mountaineers' offensive backfield. Henderson was a highly-touted running back recruit, ranking as the 11th overall player in the 2021 class, the top running back in the class and the top player in his class from the state of West Virginia, according to 247 Sports' recruit rankings. Fast forward eight years later, and Dews will finally have an opportunity to work with Henderson in New England. The highly-touted running back was taken in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft by the Patriots. 'I was very excited about it. I tried to recruit him back in high school - years ago when I was at West Virginia," said Dews, via MassLive's Mark Daniels. "He snubbed me. But it was good to be able to reconnect with him. Obviously, I'm very excited about him and what he might be able to do to help us going forward.' Henderson's addition to a Patriots' offensive backfield that also includes Rhamondre Stevenson, Antonio Gibson and rookie Lan Larison gives Dews plenty to work with in the 2025 season. It's a room crowded with talent, including a legitimate home run threat with the former Buckeye. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.
