BIG CONGRATULATIONS: Michigan Wolverines Land Five-Star Elite WR, No. 1 2026 Recruit Chris Henry Jr. Chooses Michigan Over Alabama, Ohio State, and OSU
In an electrifying turn of events, the Michigan Wolverines have secured the commitment of five-star wide receiver Chris Henry Jr., the No. 1 ranked recruit for the 2026 class. In what has been called one of the most significant recruiting victories in recent memory, Henry Jr. has chosen Michigan’s football program over top-tier programs such as Alabama, Ohio State, and Oklahoma State University, signaling a new era of talent and success for the Wolverines. This commitment is not just a major win for Michigan, but a game-changer that will have long-lasting effects on the future of their offense.
Chris Henry Jr., a dynamic playmaker out of Texas, has been the talk of the recruiting world for years. Known for his unmatched speed, exceptional route running, and jaw-dropping hands, Henry is widely regarded as one of the most polished wide receiver prospects to come out of high school in recent memory. Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 205 pounds, Henry combines elite size with incredible athleticism, making him a nightmare matchup for any defender. His ability to separate from defenders, make spectacular catches, and perform in clutch moments has earned him comparisons to some of the best wide receivers in recent NFL history.
This commitment is monumental for the Michigan Wolverines, who have long been searching for that game-changing player to help elevate their offense to the next level. While Michigan has had successful seasons and solid performances in recent years, the Wolverines have lacked a true star wide receiver who can dominate on the field and be a primary weapon in their passing game. Henry Jr.’s commitment changes all of that, giving Michigan one of the top offensive prospects in the country and a potential future NFL star.
What makes Henry Jr.’s commitment even more impressive is the fierce competition Michigan faced to land his signature. Powerhouse programs such as Alabama, Ohio State, and Oklahoma State were all in pursuit of Henry, offering him enticing opportunities to join their storied programs. Alabama, with its tradition of wide receiver dominance and recent national championships, was seen as one of the favorites to land Henry. Ohio State, another powerhouse with a proven track record of developing elite receivers, also made a strong push for his commitment. Yet, despite the allure of these high-profile programs, Henry chose Michigan.
In his announcement, Henry Jr. spoke highly of the Michigan football program and what ultimately made them the right fit for him. “Michigan’s commitment to developing players both on and off the field, their strong coaching staff, and the passion of their fanbase really stood out to me,” Henry said. “I’m excited to join a team that believes in me and where I can make an immediate impact.” His decision to pick Michigan over traditional powerhouses like Alabama and Ohio State is a clear indication of his confidence in the Wolverines’ future and their ability to help him reach his full potential.
The addition of Chris Henry Jr. gives Michigan a major recruiting victory and adds a much-needed weapon to their offense for years to come. As one of the top recruits in the country, Henry’s decision to commit to Michigan is likely to attract even more top-tier talent to Ann Arbor. This commitment has sent shockwaves through the college football world, and Michigan fans are already buzzing with excitement about the future of their team. With Henry leading the way, the Wolverines are poised to challenge for national championships and establish themselves as a perennial powerhouse in the world of college football.
