I know it feels like the 2022 college football season is a long way down the road, but you and I both know that we’ll be talking about all things scarlet and gray on the banks of the Olentangy as quickly as life goes by.
We’ve already started projecting ahead and so has everyone else. Ohio State is expected to be one of the best teams in the country again next fall, and to do that, it’ll need some of the best players to play to their capabilities.
ESPN has tried to identify the best of the best in college football next year and has identified three Buckeyes on its way-too-early All-American team, all on the offensive side of the ball.
Here are the three Ohio State players the worldwide leader in sports programming named as some very early 2022 All-Americans before all the dust even gets stirred up to begin to settle.

What ESPN’ Chris Low Says
“As a freshman, Henderson was sensational with 1,248 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns while averaging nearly 7 yards per carry. The 5-foot-10, 215-pound Henderson also caught 27 passes and had four receiving touchdowns. The Ohio State offense isn’t going to lack for dynamic playmakers in 2022, and Henderson could easily surpass the seven plays from scrimmage of 40-plus yards he had this past year.”
