TreVeyon Henderson fantasy football preview 2025: Stats, season outlook, predictions
TreVeyon Henderson 2025 Fantasy Preview
2024: The No. 1 running back recruit of the 2021 class, Henderson (5'10/203) quickly made good on the hype with a 183/1,248/15 rushing line for Ohio State as a true freshman. He added 27 catches for 312 yards and four touchdowns. Henderson's next two seasons would be marred by various minor injuries, limiting him to 18 total appearances. Both his efficiency and volume dipped, preventing Henderson from reaching 1,000 yards on the ground in either campaign. The Buckeye boosters then recruited Ole Miss power back Quinshon Judkins to be the thunder to Henderson's lightning.
What's changed: Henderson promptly rebounded with 1,016 yards and 10 scores on just 144 attempts last season. He averaged 7.1 yards per carry and added 284 yards through the air. Every Henderson touch had the potential to end up in the end zone.
2025 Outlook: Having already been pigeonholed as a committee back in college, Henderson will look to avoid the same fate in the pros. He will nevertheless begin his career as a third-down weapon for an OC in Josh McDaniels who has always featured such a role out of his backfields. If Henderson's floor behind Rhamondre Stevenson is shaky, the ceiling is tantalizing.

Two Ohio State players named to ESPN's 2025 preseason College Football All-American team
Like preseason polls, preseason All-America teams can be tricky. With input from pro scouts, college coaches and media colleagues, here's our 2025 team at ESPN. As we continue to march through fall camp and head towards the beginning of the college football season, we've seen plenty of Ohio State players receive preseason accolades and honors. The Buckeye program always has a few players mentioned among the best in the country because -- well -- it IS Ohio State after all. This week, two OSU players received another preseason honor when ESPN announced its preseason 2025 College Football All-American team. And while there are plenty of Ohio State players that could have been mentioned, and maybe just missed the cut, there are two that continue to appear on everyone's preseason list of best players as members of ESPN's first-team preseason All-American squad. On offense, wide receiver Jeremiah Smith was honored with ESPN gushing about the star wide receiver and perhaps the best player in all the game. "Smith returns as college football's premier player and the one who strikes the most fear into opposing defensive coordinators' hearts," wrote Chris Low. "The 6-3, 225-pound sophomore is a nightmarish matchup for defensive backs with his blend of size, strength and speed. He had 17 touchdown catches last year, including four in the Buckeyes' first two playoff games, and averaged 17.5 yards per catch." On the defensive side, you can once again guess which OSU player was recognized on the first team, none other than all-everything safety Caleb Downs. "Downs came into college football as one of the top prospects in the country, played that way as a freshman at Alabama and took yet another step this past season after transferring to Ohio State and helping lead the Buckeyes to the national championship," Low said. "The prototypical safety, Downs was third on Ohio State's team last season with 81 tackles, 7 ½ of them for loss, and had two interceptions." It should be noted that there was also one other Ohio State player who was mentioned on ESPN's second-team, and that was tight end Max Klare. He, too, is expected to do big things and build off of what he did at Purdue. In other words, there is still plenty of talent in the cupboard on the banks of the Olentangy.

Ohio State vs. Texas to set historic precedent on Aug. 30
When Ohio State and Texas do battle to open the college football season on Aug. 30, it will be an historic matchup. Not only will it be the first meeting between preseason No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the Coaches Poll, but it will also mark another notable first-time event in history. With Texas being ranked No. 1 in both polls, and with the game being played inside Ohio Stadium, the oddsmakers -- at least for now -- have the Buckeyes as a favorite. In fact, ESPN itself has OSU as a - 2.5 point favorite over the Longhorns. And while that would hardly be the first time a No. 1 team was an underdog by Vegas standards, according to the "worldwide leader," it will be the first time in college football history that a No. 1-ranked preseason team has opened the season as an underdog. So, what is the closest a No. 1 team has come to not being favored in its season-opener? According to Doug Greenberg of ESPN, it was when No. 1 Florida State was a four-point favorite over No. 8 Miami (FL) and lost convincingly in the Orange Bowl, 31-0. The game between the Buckeyes and Longhorns is sure to be one of the most anticipated games of the college football season, and it's already generating a lot of buzz in not just Columbus and Austin, but across the country. Let's hope the home-field advantage OSU should get from playing in the 'Shoe is just what the scarlet and gray doctor ordered.

The Ohio State football program does something no other team in NCAA history has done
The Ohio State football team made some history with the latest Associated Press Top-25 Poll. The Buckeyes came in at No. 3 in the preseason poll with 1,472 points and 11 first-place votes. In the process, Ohio State became the first team to appear 1,000 times in the AP Top-25, which has been ranking teams since 1936. Not only did the Bucks become the first football program to appear 1,000 times, but there is quite a chasm between the Buckeyes and the next closest team, the Michigan Wolverines, who come in at 928 appearances all-time. That's 72 weeks' worth of Top-25 appearances that Ohio State has been ranked more than its arch rival. Rounding out the top five were Oklahoma with 906 appearances, followed by Alabama and Notre Dame, tied with 891 apiece. It's quite a feat and says a great deal about the tradition of excellence the Ohio State football program has created for nearly 100 years. Next on the Buckeyes' radar? Become the second team in NCAA history to reach the 1,000 win plateau. The program currently sits at 978 wins, second only to Michigan, which has 1,012 wins. However, it should be noted, the Wolverines started playing football games a full 11 years before Ohio State. For now, at least, we'll bask in the glory of being the most frequent name mentioned in the AP Poll.
