Avery Henry started chemotherapy treatment this week after he was diagnosed with bone cancer in December and says he feels “great and ready.”
A native of St. Clairsville, Ohio, Henry was a top-10 offensive line recruit in Ohio for the class of 2022, according to 247Sports. He arrived on campus this past June and began training with his teammates over the summer before practicing with them in fall camp and throughout the year. Henry did not appear in a game for the Buckeyes this past season.
Despite his diagnosis in mid-December, Henry still traveled with Ohio State to Atlanta for the team's Peach Bowl matchup with Georgia. “We're trying to give Avery as much space as we can during this time, but also know that he's got a whole team behind him that's gonna help him through this fight,” head coach Ryan Day said on Dec. 21. “He's gonna be down there in Atlanta with us, God willing, and still be with the team. That's the hope. And we're just going to be a part of this fight with him. So I know the whole team's behind him.
Henry received his treatment from Ohio State's James Cancer Hospital in Columbus, which is ranked as one of the top 25 cancer hospitals in America,“I told the guys after it happened, things like this give you perspective in life, too,” Day said. “And this is a reason why you get into coaching is to have an impact on young people and help Avery fight this battle. But like we talked about with his family, there's a reason why you're here. There's a reason why you're a Buckeye.
Henry's tweet, which has nearly 50,000 views and more than 1,000 likes on Twitter, received plenty of responses, including some from his Ohio State teammates, backing up Day's claim that the Buckeyes would be there for Henry during his treatment process.
