Ohio State signs 5-star receiver Chris Henry
Ohio State landed one of the biggest prospects in the 2026 recruiting class with the signing of five-star wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. on Wednesday.
Henry is the No. 1-ranked receiver and No. 7 overall prospect in the ESPN 300.
The 6-foot-5, 205-pound standout verbally committed to Ohio State in July 2023. He kept his pledge to the Buckeyes, officially agreeing to join the program on Day 1 of the early signing period despite gaining interest from USC and Oregon late in the process.
The 18-year-old previously shut down his recruitment in early April but raised speculation about his commitment Tuesday when he posted a picture of Trojans, Ducks, and Buckeyes hats on Instagram.
Henry's signing comes shortly after Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline reportedly accepted the head coaching job at USF on Wednesday.
The talented pass-catcher is the son of late Cincinnati Bengals wideout Chris Henry.
The Buckeyes have 28 commitments in the 2026 class as the early signing period continues.
