TreVeyon Henderson's Senior Season is Cancelled

Wednesday was likely a tough day for Ohio State commit TreVeyon Henderson, who is widely regarded as one of the top running backs in the country. Henderson is from Hopewell, Virginia. and committed to the Buckeyes last March, but he was counting on one more season with his high school team to try and win a third state title in four years. Unfortunately, Henderson and the Hopewell Blue Devils found out Wednesday they would not play this fall because of the pandemic.

UPDATE:

Today, the VHSL Executive Committee voted to hold a meeting on Monday, July, 27, to vote and announce our plan for the reopening of sports and activities. The committee also voted to delay the beginning of fall sports and to suspend the July-August dead period in 2020.

The Virginia High School League presented three options for the return of high school sports this fall, but none of them included playing football this fall. The VHSL hasn't decided on if they'll move the season to the winter or spring, but Henderson intends to early-enroll at Ohio State even if the season were postponed instead of cancelled.

One potential option for Henderson is to enroll in a private high school program out-of-state, but he tells Eleven Warriors it's possible, but unlikely he would do that.

However, Tournament of Roses Chief Executive David Eads says The Rose Bowl football game on Jan. 1 is still planned, whether it is with a socially distanced audience or an empty stadium.

The Buckeyes earned their third consecutive Big Ten title ring last fall and their eighth consecutive pair of Gold Pants for beating Michigan again last November.

Considering Wednesday was likely the first time since spring practice that Ohio State coaches and players were allowed to be in the same place, at the same time, it seemed as good of a time as any to celebrate what they accomplished last year. NCAA guidelines established last month give Buckeye coaches the chance to observe workouts and total up to eight hours per week with each player in the weight room and film study room.

We hope you have a great day - and remember ... time and change will surely show, how firm thy friendship OHIO!
