Ravens’ Derrick Henry Poised to Surpass High School Rushing Record in NFL Career
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry is 72 rushing yards away from exceeding his remarkable four-year high school rushing total during today’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.
During his time at Yulee High School in Florida, Henry amassed 12,124 rushing yards, averaging an astounding 252.8 yards per game. Now in his 10th NFL season, Henry currently ranks 17th all-time in rushing yards and will move into 15th place, surpassing Hall of Famers Thurman Thomas and Franco Harris, with 72 yards today. This achievement highlights Henry’s consistent dominance at every level of football.
The potential milestone comes as Henry continues to build a Hall of Fame-worthy NFL career; he is currently within reach of the top 10 all-time rushers. He trails Tony Dorsett, who holds the 10th position, by just 687 yards, potentially allowing Henry to break into the top 10 by the end of the 2025 season.
