At the present time, Ohio State has one player committed to the 2026 recruiting class. Chris Henry Jr. is the son of the late former NFL wide receiver Chris Henry of the Cincinnati Bengals. Henry Jr. gave his pledge to the Buckeyes in July of 2023. Since then, Henry has moved up the recruiting rankings and is the No. 1 overall player in class according to 247Sports composite rankings.
Henry transferred from Cincinnati Withrow to Mater Dei High School to finish out his prep career. Unfortunately, his junior season came to an end last night with what is being reported as a knee injury. Currently, there has been no official diagnosis shared with the general public, but Henry seems to be in good spirits, all things considered.
When the news broke, Henry posted a three-word message on social media, “I’ll be back.”
I'll be back🙏🏽 https://t.co/5EJYwy19SA

Injuries are tough to deal with, and yet they are part of the game. Fortunately, it sounds like the young wide receiver will be back in the early part of 2025 and should be fully recovered for his senior season of football.
