Ohio State freshman offensive lineman Avery Henry disclosed on social media Monday night that he has been recently diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare type of cancer that begins in the cells that form bones.
Henry, a member of the Buckeyes’ 2022 recruiting class who arrived at the program in June, shared the news of his diagnosis in a statement on Twitter:
“This isn’t the way I wanted to release this, but I know no other way. A couple days ago I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer. I will fight this! I have never been a statistic and I never will!
