When former Ole Miss running back Quinshon Judkins entered the transfer portal in January, Ryan Day’s first call was to TreVeyon Henderson.
Day knew Judkins could be an asset for Ohio State’s offense. After all, Judkins ran for 2,723 yards and 31 touchdowns in just two seasons at Ole Miss, earning All-SEC honors in both seasons. But he didn’t want to send the wrong message to Henderson, who hadn’t yet announced his decision to stay at OSU for his senior season.
Given that he has been Ohio State’s top running back for the past three years, Henderson could have seen it as an affront that the Buckeyes wanted to add another running back to take carries away from him.
