Talented Ohio State RB is out for the playoffs

Ohio State is without two elite skill position players for the College Football Playoff semifinal against Georgia

Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson is expected to miss the College Football Playoff semifinal against Georgia.

Henderson battled injuries throughout the 2022 college football season, and the former five-star running back is having surgery on his foot. Henderson suffered a foot injury in September and has been fighting through it since.

Henderson had 107 rushes for 571 yards and six touchdowns this season. Henderson had an outstanding true freshman season last year. In 2021, Henderson rushed for 1,248 rushing yards on 183 carries and scored 15 rushing touchdowns. When healthy Henderson is a talented receiver out of the backfield. He recorded 27 catches for 312 yards and four receiving touchdowns as a freshman.

Hopefully Henderson returns to full health for the 2023 college football season. When healthy, Henderson is one of the most dynamic players in all of college football.

Ohio State will have to heavily lean on powerful running back Miyan Williams. This season, Williams has 817 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns. However, Williams is not as much of a receiving threat and has only five receptions for 27 yards in 2022.

Freshman running back Dallan Hayden will be asked to play a larger role. Hayden has 510 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns, but does not have impressive receiving numbers (four receptions for 23 yards).

Neither Henderson nor Jaxon Smith-Njigba will suit up for the Buckeyes in the playoffs.
