Scout’s view: Ohio State’s newest commitment, 2026 wide receiver Chris Henry Jr.

The ceiling is through the roof for Henry Jr. #GoBucks

[autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] got a magnificent start to their 2026 recruiting class when in-state wide receiver, [autotag]Chris Henry Jr.,[/autotag] made his verbal commitment while visiting campus.

The son of former NFL wide receiver Chris Henry, who passed away late in 2009, has his father’s size at 6-foot, 5-inches and 185-pounds. The younger Henry won’t follow in his father’s footsteps and attend West Virginia, choosing to stay home and play for the Buckeyes instead.

Ohio State’s wide receiver room once again adds another elite prospect at the position and after watching Henry Jr.’s freshman highlights, you can see why the Buckeyes wanted to add him.

I will undoubtedly do another one of these as Henry Jr. progresses through high school, but this is what I saw following his first year of football at that level.
