This is some high praise for TreVeyon Henderson.

The Ohio State freshman has 14 touchdowns this season, including 3 in the first half of Saturday’s game against Indiana. Only one player has more touchdowns as a freshman: Maurice Clarett, who had 18 in 2002.

Clarett is apparently watching the Buckeyes’ game against the Hoosiers and made a bold prediction for the last few weeks of Henderson’s season.

Henderson is having a fantastic year for Ohio State. He entered Saturday’s contest ranked 3rd in the B1G with 102 rushing yards per game and is tied with Michigan State standout Kenneth Walker III for 2nd with 9 touchdowns.

The former 5-star recruit chose Ohio State over schools such as Alabama, Auburn and Arkansas, among other big names. He’s made an instant impact and is a huge reason the Buckeyes are undefeated in B1G play.

Ohio State currently leads Indiana 44-7 in the 3rd quarter. You can catch the rest of the game on ABC.
