Ohio State offers Chris Henry Jr, son of late Cincinnati Bengals receiver

The Ohio State football program is in the thick of hosting summer camps. On Monday, the Buckeye coaching staff had their interest piqued by a receiver in the 2026 class. Yes, you read that right… an eighth-grader heading into his freshman year of high school.

But this isn’t just any middle schooler getting an offer from The Ohio State University. No, this is Chris Henry Jr, son of former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, Chris Henry.

Henry Jr. impressed the Buckeye coaching staff and was the only player from Monday’s camp to garner an offer. The son of the five-year pro already has excellent size, coming in at 6-3 and 170 pounds.

Henry Jr. will attend West Clermont High School in Cincinnati. Unfortunately, the elder Henry’s life was cut short in an auto accident. The younger Henry lives with Adam “Packman” Jones who was a teammate of Chris Henry at West Virginia University.
