Ohio State OL Avery Henry Discloses He Has Bone Cancer

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!
