Avery Henry, Ohio State Inspired Each Other in Buckeyes’ Run to National Championship

While Avery Henry’s football career ended when he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in December 2022, his time as a member of the Ohio State football program did not.

The former Ohio State offensive tackle, whose cancer has been in remission since May 2023, has continued to have an active presence with the Buckeyes for the past two years. That included traveling with the team throughout its College Football Playoff run as the Buckeyes went to the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl and finally the national championship game, where Ohio State defeated Notre Dame to win the first-ever 12-team CFP.
