Old Dominion linebacker Jason Henderson, one of the most decorated players in program history, announced Sunday that he is stepping away from football after battling a serious knee injury for nearly two years.

Henderson, a two-time All-American and the nation’s leading tackler in 2022 and 2023, shared the news in a heartfelt Instagram post. After a grueling recovery process following a devastating knee injury late last season, the senior linebacker said he could no longer compete at the level he demands of himself.

"Almost two years now I have been trying to get to a point to where I can return to the football field and confidently give my all," Henderson wrote. "Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get to the point to where I can maintain playing at a competitive level again."
