Ohio State Offensive Tackle Avery Henry Diagnosed with Bone Cancer

Avery Henry has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer.

The Ohio State freshman offensive tackle announced the diagnosis in a tweet Monday night, vowing to fight the disease the way he’s always fought adversity in his life and thanking his Ohio State teammates and coaches for their support.

This isnt 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!
