The star running back lept clear over a Northwestern defender and landed forward near the 1st down marker.

The move easily gave Henderson 2 or 3 extra yards and set up a 2nd-and-short. It was an incredibly impressive maneuver from the 5-foot-10 Henderson, who cleared the larger defender.
This isn’t the first time Henderson has made an incredible move on the field. The RB made headlines in 2023 when he hurdled over a Western Kentucky defender in a dominant Ohio State win. A week prior to that move, Henderson did the same thing against Youngstown State.
At the 2-minute timeout, the Buckeyes had a commanding 31-7 lead over the Wildcats. Henderson had 11 carries for 74 yards to that point, while fellow running back Quinshon Judkins had 15 carries for 76 yards and 2 TDs.
Henderson has once again been a key weapon for the Buckeyes in 2024. Heading into Week 12, the RB had rushed 78 times for 588 yards and 5 TDs. Henderson and Judkins have combined to give the Buckeyes one of the nation’s best RB duos.
With a Week 12 win, the Buckeyes will improve to 9-1 overall and 6-1 in conference play. The Buckeyes will end the regular season with games against No. 5 Indiana and arch-rival Michigan.
