Well, all of the eggs are out of one basket and into another.

There have been trends when it’s come to Michigan’s search for a 2021 running back. Earlier this year, it seemed as if the Wolverines weren’t strongly pursuing West Bloomfield (MI) four-star RB Donovan Edwards — an indicator of how they felt about their chances with another: Hopewell (VA) five-star tailback TreVeyon Henderson. But recently, Michigan reportedly picked up its pursuit of Edwards, an indicator that perhaps things weren’t going as well as they seemed for Henderson.

And on Friday, that dream ended.

Despite having never visited Columbus, Henderson pledged to Ohio State, he announced via Twitter. Now Michigan’s pursuit of Edwards is that much more important.

Of course, as far as Edwards is concerned, Michigan cannot rest easy just because he’s in-state. Alabama, Georgia and Oklahoma are among the programs in high pursuit.

Regardless of Edwards — or even Cincinnati (OH) Roger Bacon four-star RB Corey Kiner — being on the table, it still hurts losing the nation’s top-rated tailback to the arch-rival.

But now a lot rests on the maize and blue closing the deal and keeping a crucial in-state talent home.

Boom! Ohio State gets commitment from five-star RB TreVeyon Henderson

TreVeyon Henderson, one of the class of 2021’s top-rated running backs, has pledged his services to Ohio State via an announcement Friday night.

Ohio State football is putting together one whale of a 2021 recruiting class, and it just added a huge piece that will only continue the momentum it has created.

TreVeyon Henderson, the 2021 class’ No. 1 overall running back recruit according to the 247Sports rankings culled his list down to nine schools as of late, but was considered by many to be a heavy Ohio State lean recently. Rumors began to circulate that he was close to picking the Buckeyes very soon, and that has now come to fruition with his verbal commitment to OSU Friday night on Twitter.

At 5-11, 190 lbs. out of Hopewell, Virginia, Henderson possesses elite speed, vision, and athletic ability that should translate to immediate playing time wherever he goes. He’s still got his senior season still to play, and has room to add to his frame to become a more physical back than what he already is.

You can watch his commitment video below.

Henderson chose Ohio State over the likes of Virginia Tech, Virginia, Michigan, and Oklahoma. Now, it’s time to get to work and be a part of this extremely talented class the Buckeyes are putting together.

Nation’s top running back TreVeyon Henderson to make college decision tonight, could choose Ohio State

According to reports and a Tweet by TreVeyon Henderson himself, he’ll announce a college choice tonight. Ohio State is favorite to land him.

TreVeyon Henderson is rated as the No. 1 running back according to 247Sports, and he is reportedly ready to make his college decision Friday night at 7PM Eastern.

The 5-11, 195 pounder out of Hopewell, Virginia is considered a very heavy Ohio State lean, but we’ve seen that not play out all too well with guys like Bijan Robinson and Jaylan Knighton in last year’s recruiting class.

Those two seemed to be locked and loaded and a silent commitment before they both pulled the rug out from underneath the OSU coaching staff just before signing day.

Still, there are some good signs with where this thing appears to be going with Henderson. There are 21 crystal ball predictions on 247Sports, and they all have Henderson picking Ohio State. Henderson himself even called the Buckeyes his leader and tweeted some things in the recent past that would have you believe he’s headed that way.

But there are also some unknowns here. There was a cryptic Tweet from Henderson that said “don’t believe everything on the media.” By and large, almost everyone in the media has been earmarking Henderson to the banks of the Olentangy.

If it’s not Ohio State, the other schools that seem to be high on the list are Virginia Tech, Virginia, and North Carolina. But our call here is still for Henderson to announce his decision to join the 2021 class for the Buckeyes.

Unless Henderson’s Tweet is about something else than making a college choice tonight at 7PM, we’ll all find out then. Stay tuned …

Georgia football recruiting: 5-star RB TreVeyon Henderson sets commitment time

5-star Georgia football RB target Treveyon Henderson has announced his commitment time.

Georgia fans received some good news last week when five-star running back TreVeyon Henderson included the Bulldogs in his most recent cut.

Henderson cut his list of schools to nine: Georgia, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Texas, Ohio State, North Carolina, Penn State, Michigan and Oklahoma.

And now, it appears the 5-star ball carrier from Hopewell, Virginia is ready to commit.

On Thursday night, Henderson tweeted that he has made a decision, and then the following afternoon he posted that he will be committing at 7 p.m. on Friday.

Henderson ranks as the nation’s No. 17 overall prospect, No. 2 running back and No. 3 player in his state.

Ohio State is viewed as his leader, per the 247Sports Crystal Ball, which has 18 predictions going to the Buckeyes. Oklahoma and Virginia Tech are viewed as his other top choices.

The Buckeyes possess the nation’s top recruiting class for the 2021 cycle and recently landed a commitment from another elite running back, Georgia target Evan Pryor. If Ohio State lands both Pryor and Henderson in this class, that should secure the best 1-2 running back punch in 2021.

Henderson took a visit to Georgia in early February and holds over 40 offers.

The No. 1 running back in the 2021 class could be close to committing to Ohio State

TreVeyon Henderson, the 2021 class’ No. 1 rated running back is reportedly close to deciding on Ohio State as his college choice.

Ohio State football recruiting has been on fire as of late. Despite all the coronavirus measures that have shut down seemingly everything, the Buckeyes have landed four recruits in the past week. With all that’s gone on, they have far and away separated themselves as the top-ranked 2021 class in the country.

And there could be one of the biggest fish out there ready to bite in the very, very near future. The class’ top-rated running back, TreVeyon Henderson out of Hopewell, Virginia, has told several recruiting services that Ohio State is the leader for him. It’s not a done deal of course, but the word on the street is that a commitment could come at any time.

In fact, right now, 247Sports has all of its crystal ball predictions going in OSU’s favor. Those in the know seem to think it’s only a matter of time before he makes it official. And in fact, Henderson himself has teased an imminent decision.

Henderson originally announced his top nine schools lately that include not only Ohio State, but Michigan, Penn State, Georgia, Virginia, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Texas. But the feeling is that he is a very heavy lean toward backing the U-Haul up to Columbus.

That’s even with the recent news of another running back stud, Evan Pryor’s commitment as of late.

Henderson is a compact 5-11, 195 lbs. and has sprinter’s speed. He had over 3,000 all-purpose yards and scored 53 touchdowns during his junior campaign, and someone’s going to very excited to land his services. He could be the next great one at Ohio State if it comes to fruition.

As we hear anything, we will let you know.

5-star RB includes Georgia football in most recent cut

5-star RB TreVeyon Henderson included Georgia football in his most recent cut.

Georgia fans received some good news on Tuesday when five-star running back TreVeyon Henderson included the Bulldogs in his most recent cut.

Henderson cut his list of schools to nine: Georgia, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Texas, Ohio State, North Carolina, Penn State, Michigan and Oklahoma.

Henderson hails from Hopewell, Virginia. Kirby Smart will have his work cut out for him to persuade the 5-foot, 11-inch, 195-pound Gatorade Virginia Player of the Year to head south to Georgia.

Henderson ranks as the nation’s No. 17 overall prospect, No. 2 running back and No. 3 player in his state.

Ohio State is viewed as his leader, per the 247Sports Crystal Ball. Oklahoma is right there as well.

Henderson took a visit to Georgia in early February and holds over 40 offers.

The Buckeyes possess the nation’s top recruiting class for the 2021 cycle and recently landed a commitment from another elite running back, Georgia target Evan Pryor.

 

TreVeyon Henderson keeps Ohio State in mix despite Pryor’s commitment

The Ohio State Buckeyes are in the race for another five-star running back despite recently getting a commitment from Evan Pryor.

Ohio State is in the race for another five-star running back despite recently getting a commitment from Evan Pryor. That running back is TreVeyon Henderson, the 17th-best player in the Class of 2021, and the nation’s No. 2 rated running back according to 2487Sports.

Recruited by Tony Alford, Henderson has some of the nation’s top programs on his list.

If he were to commit to Ohio State, Henderson would be the Buckeyes’ top-rated running back in the class despite the commitment from Pryor. That said, Henderson took to Twitter to announce his final nine.

Henderson’s crystal ball prediction gave the Clemson Tigers a 33% chance to land him along with the Buckeyes at 33%, so there is a good chance experts will now believe that Ohio State is the favorite to secure the high-touted prospect.

The Virginia-native also has his two major home programs in his final nine which could play a factor as well.

The 5-foot-11, 195-pound back is destined to be a stud at the next level, and although they have a commitment from Pryor, let’s hope Henderson also opts to join an elite class in Columbus.

Longhorns offer Virginia Football Player of the Year

Texas has given an offer to TreVeyon Henderson out of Hopewell, Virginia. Henderson is a four-star ATH in the 2021 class but mainly plays RB.

Texas has given an offer to TreVeyon Henderson out of Hopewell, Virginia. Henderson is a four-star athlete in the 2021 class but mainly plays running back. If he were to be a running back, Henderson would be the seventh player the Longhorns have offered at the position in 2021.

Listed at 5 feet 10 inches, Henderson has been outstanding for Hopewell High School the past two seasons. In his junior year, he nearly ran for 2,500 yards, recording 2,424 yards and 45 touchdowns on 198 carries. Henderson was also a threat catching the ball, having 283 receiving yards and five touchdowns on 13 receptions.

Playing some snaps on the defensive side of the ball, he recorded 48 tackles, three of them for a loss. Henderson also forced four turnovers, three via interceptions.

His efforts in the 2019 season were good enough to earn him Virginia Player of the Year. Most top schools throughout the country are in on Henderson, with Oklahoma and West Virginia coming from the Big 12. Clemson seems to be the favorite to land his commitment right now, but the door remains open for Texas to ink another star running back.
