Ohio State Buckeyes running back TreVeyon Henderson revealed that he has struggled with mental health battles off of the field.
Last season, he took over as the main back, and alongside Marvin Harrison Jr., was the key to Ohio State's success on the offensive side of the ball. And though he was sidelined by injuries for multiple weeks, he still nearly reached the 1,000-yard mark.
Among those issues, were battles with sleep paralysis and depression, with Henderson even admitting that at one point that he had thoughts of taking his own life. “I’d just see her crying, there was nothing I could do being at that young age. I became so dark at the time. Sometimes, I’d be alone, and these evil thoughts would pop into my head about taking my own life... That’s why my mom put me in football. Football became a way that I could drive that anger."
