In a thrilling recruitment victory for Ohio State, the Buckeyes have landed 2026 five-star wide receiver Chris Henry Jr., securing his commitment over powerhouse programs such as Louisville, Michigan, and Oklahoma. The 6’3″, 195-pound Henry, known for his explosive speed and impressive route-running abilities, made his decision official on Sunday, marking a major win for head coach Ryan Day and the Buckeyes’ recruiting class.
Henry, who hails from Cincinnati, is considered one of the top wideout prospects in the country. His combination of size, athleticism, and ball skills has made him a coveted recruit for several major programs. Throughout his recruitment, he had narrowed down his list to a handful of schools, with Ohio State being the frontrunner for much of the process. The Buckeyes’ reputation for developing wide receivers, along with their strong offensive system, played a significant role in Henry’s decision.
Ohio State’s receiving corps is among the best in college football, with recent standouts like Garrett Wilson and Jaxon Smith-Njigba showcasing the program’s ability to develop elite talent. Henry Jr.’s commitment adds to a rapidly growing class for the Buckeyes, who continue to dominate in recruiting and remain a top contender for national championships.
With his decision, Henry joins a deep and talented roster that will only continue to evolve. His presence will be a game-changer for Ohio State, as he brings not only a potential game-breaking ability but also a strong legacy as the son of the late NFL receiver Chris Henry, known for his time with the Cincinnati Bengals.
This victory adds to Ohio State’s growing momentum as a national recruiting force, setting the stage for another potential powerhouse team in the coming years.
