2025 NFL Scouting Report: TreVeyon Henderson

Prospect Summary:

Henderson was a freshman sensation in 2021 when he averaged 6.8 yards per carry for 1,248 yards and 15 touchdowns on only 183 carries. That season, he also caught 27 passes for 312 yards and four touchdowns. In 2022, he averaged 5.3 yards per carry for 571 yards with six touchdowns. He caught four passes for 28 yards and a score. The drop in production was caused by Henderson missing time from injuries and having his season cut short by a fracture and torn ligaments in his left foot. The foot injury happened in the third game of the season, and after trying to play through it, eventually Henderson was forced to sit out the end of the season, including the college football playoffs.

In 2023, Henderson averaged 5.9 yards per carry for 926 yards and 11 touchdowns. He had 19 receptions for 229 yards as well. In 2024, Henderson formed a tremendous running back tandem with Quinshon Judkins. Henderson averaged 7.1 yards per carry for 1,016 yards with 10 touchdowns. He had 27 catches for 284 yards and a touchdown. Having Judkins in the lineup seemed to push Henderson as he ran with more downhill physicality in his final season with the Buckeys.

Henderson is a fast back who has serious speed with a second gear to run away from defenses. With his jets, Henderson is a potential home run hitter who is a threat to rip off long runs on any carry. Henderson is a strong runner with a burst to get upfield. With natural feel and patience, Henderson lets holes develop, and he has quickness to dart upfield when he decides to go North-South. With his strong build, Henderson can power through tacklers and finishes runs well. He has lower body strength and contact balance to maintain his feet while pushing through defenders. The compact build lends itself to Henderson running behind his pads with good knee bend, and he opens it up in the open field to break off long runs. Henderson is not a super elusive runner and is more North-South style, but he shows some moves to change direction with cuts around defenders.

In the passing game, Henderson is a capable outlet receiver who can run the basic running back routes. He has good hands and is natural in the open field. Like all young players, Henderson will need to learn NFL blitz protection, but he has the build to be a potential blocker at the pro level.

In the 2025 NFL Draft, Henderson could go on the second day of the draft. Some team sources believe Henderson could be a third-round pick that ends up becoming a solid starter in the NFL.
