When looking at the future, there are few players better than 5-star wide receiver Chris Henry Jr., the No. 1 ranked player in the class of 2026.

Henry is already committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes, but there is a long time before he signs on the dotted line, so anything can happen in his recruitment.

It appears, according to a report from On3, that Henry is planning to take a visit out to Eugene this summer to see Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks. Henry visited Oregon once before, but wants to check things out again as he continues he’s recruitment.

Henry is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 1 overall player in the 2026 class, and the No. 1 wide receiver. He stands at 6-foot-5, 205 pounds, and is one of the best WR prospects we’ve seen in the high school ranks in quite some time.

Now let’s see what Junior Adams can do to recruit him.

The Oregon Ducks have had a lot of success recruiting at Mater Dei High School down in California over the past couple of years, landing players like Aydin Breland, Jack Ressler, and Lipe Moala. Dan Lanning and his staff hope that success continues, with one of the best players in the 2026 class visiting Eugene from Mater Dei later this spring.

Earlier in the week, it was announced that 5-star wide receiver Chris Henry Jr., a verbal commit to Ohio State, will take a visit to Oregon on April 20th, a week before the Ducks’ annual spring game. Henry is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 3 overall player in the 2026 class, and the No. 1 wide receiver.

Henry stands at 6-foot-5, 185 pounds, and has been committed to Ohio State since July of 2023. The Ducks didn’t officially extend an offer to Henry until January of this year, so we will see how things might change with them ramping up their recruitment of the elite pass-catcher.
