Chris Henry Jr., son of late NFL receiver, commits to Ohio State

Chris Henry Jr., son of late Cincinnati Bengals player Chris Henry and one of the top overall prospects of the Class of 2026, committed to Ohio State.

Henry’s decision, announced Friday, makes him Ohio State’s first 2026 commitment.

“When I talked to coach (Ryan) Day, there was no point in waiting anymore,” Henry said, per the Columbus Dispatch. “It’s perfect for me. It fits me.

“It’s an amazing feeling to have a school like this have me as their priority.”

Henry already had offers from 24 schools, including elite programs such as Southern California, Notre Dame, Michigan and Tennessee. He also had an offer from his father’s alma mater, West Virginia.

An incoming sophomore at Cincinnati Withrow High School, Henry is listed as 6-foot-5, 185 pounds by 247sports.com.

At West Clermont High School in his freshman year, Henry caught 29 passes for 292 yards and five touchdowns and was named to the MaxPreps Freshman All-America team.

Henry’s father was a wide receiver who played in 55 games over five seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. He died at age 26 after suffering massive head injuries before he fell out of a truck in 2009. He was diagnosed posthumously with CTE.
