TreVeyon Henderson 40 time: How fast is Ohio State RB?
Ohio State standout TreVeyon Henderson is one of the best and most complete running backs in the nation. The only thing that has stopped Henderson has been occasional nagging injuries. But the senior running back has been outstanding throughout a memorable Ohio State career.
Henderson's career took something of a turn with the recruitment of Quinshon Judkins in the transfer portal. Now splitting carries with Judkins instead of being a true RB1, Henderson should be more durable, if perhaps a bit less productive.
Henderson's 40 yard dash time has been reported as 4.39 seconds. He had 76 rushing yards on just six carries in Ohio State's easy 49-14 win over Marshall on Saturday. Ohio State is 3-0 and opponents haven't had a clue how to handle Henderson and Judkins together. Henderson has 204 yards rushing on just 24 carries so far. Here's more on Henderson's game-breaking speed.
How fast is TreVeyon Henderson?
Any sub- 4.4 second time is generally consider top-level speed. The annual NFL Draft Combine usually features a player or two who can turn in sub-4.3 second times, with the all-time best hanging around 4.21 seconds.
But Henderson's 4.39 seconds is still a tremendously speedy 40 yard dash time. His 208 pound size gives him both the speed to outrace foes and the power to run a few folks over on a big play. Henderson is expected to be a highly sought NFL talent.

As a high school recruit out of Hopwell, Virginia, Henderson was very highly regarded. 247sports named him the top running back in the nation in his 2021 high school class, ranking Henderson as the overall No. 11 player in his class. Henderson took a handful of unofficial visits, but chose Ohio State without the benefit of an official visit.

Henderson's career bests in carries (187) and rushing yards (1,248) came in 2021 as a true freshman. Henderson played only 18 games combined in 2022 and 2023, still displaying amazing skills, but failing to be particularly durable.
