Ohio State offensive lineman Avery Henry now ‘cancer free’

This is the best news of the year! #GoBucks

Now. this is something we can all get behind, even if you aren’t an Ohio State football fan. Sometimes there are things that transcend sports and can be celebrated in life, and battling — and seemingly administering a forearm shiver — to cancer is one of them.

It wasn’t long ago that reports surfaced that OSU offensive lineman Avery Henry received a cancer diagnosis (osteosarcoma to be exact) and took a hiatus from competing on the field. Now, after going through treatment, Henry announced on Twitter that he has been told he is “cancer free.”

This is obviously beyond massive and splendid news, and Henry says he still has four more treatments before he is “officially done,” but we and all of Buckeye Nation couldn’t be happier with the announcement.

Henry took a redshirt season last year, so he still maintains four years of eligibility and we’ll stay on top of any journey that gets him back onto the football field for Ohio State in the future.

Current Ohio State offensive tackles ranked by the 247Sports composite

Ranking Ohio State offensive tackles by 247Sports recruiting composite #GoBucks

The Ohio State football team has 18 offensive linemen on scholarship and seven arrived in Columbus, Ohio, as offensive tackles. Now the Ohio State offensive line is in a state of flux, so some of these players may wind up on the interior, and some players that I list on the interior could be moved outside. Still, we are moving forward with how 247Sports had them listed as recruits.

The offensive tackle position will be exciting to watch this spring. The Buckeyes lost both Paris Johnson and Dawand Jones and will be hoping a youngster such as Tegra Tshabola steps up to the plate. Here is a ranking of the scholarship offensive tackles on the roster based on their 247Sports recruiting rankings.

Ohio State lands offensive lineman to the 2022 class

The second commitment in as many days for the Ohio State football program!

After a lengthy period of quiet on the Ohio State football recruiting front, the Buckeyes have landed two prospects for the 2022 class in as many days. Tuesday, OSU got a big one from four-star defensive end Kenyatta Jackson, followed up Wednesday morning with news that three-star offensive lineman Avery Henry is also joining the Buckeye football program.

Out of Saint Clairsville, Ohio, Henry stands at 6-foot, 6-inches, and 305-pounds. He is rated as the No. 134 offensive tackle in the class according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, but obviously, Ohio State thinks it got a player that is severely undersold. In fact, it’s often that we see offensive linemen as the underrated players that end up developing all that size and ability into something special.

Henry’s commitment makes it 16 that have now committed to the 2022 class, one that was tops among all programs early on and still in the top ten. Ryan Day and staff are still looking to add to the class with a strong, finishing kick.
