TreVeyon Henderson is a dynamic running back for the New England Patriots, selected in the second round (38th overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft after a standout collegiate career with the Ohio State Buckeyes. A national champion in 2025, he amassed over 3,700 rushing yards and 42 touchdowns across his four seasons at Ohio State, while also excelling as a pass-catcher with more than 850 receiving yards, showcasing his explosive speed, elusiveness, and versatility. Born in Hopewell, Virginia, he brings not only elite on-field talent, but also a powerful personal testimony of faith and resilience, making him the ideal voice to pen the foreword for this book.
Advance Praise
"I recommend this book to teens and young adults because there are so many of us who may be lost and struggling, and we're looking for hope, but in the wrong places. The hope you're looking for is found in Jesus Christ." -TreVeyon Henderson, running back for the New England Patriots
"Readers who like crime novels mixed with realistic family drama, spiritual growth, and redemption will be hooked from start to finish." -Readers' Favorite (5 Stars)
"I've always looked for ways to affect young adults with a positive message in my work and so the opportunity to take the world Stacy created, a world showing how good kids can easily fall into life threatening drug addiction and eventually put the pieces of their lives back together, was an opportunity and challenge I was excited to bring to the small screen." -Mark Blutman, Emmy-winning producer
"Gripped 6 is a captivating and emotional installment in the series that shines a powerful light on the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. ... It doesn't just warn readers about the dangers of drugs-it shows how one person's choices can ripple outward and change the lives of everyone around them. Taylor's regret is raw and real; his story is a cautionary tale, but also a deeply human one..." -Timothy Weiss, Syracuse University
"Invigorating, engaging and a must read. The characters in The Gripped Series diligently tackle the essence of forces that can limit greatness within." -LaTonya Pinkard of Netflix's Emmy winning series 'Last Chance U'
