Ranked ninth overall and second in California by 247Sports, Henry had remained verbally committed to Ohio State since July 2023, despite heavy interest from other top programs. He will make his official visit to Columbus from June 20th-22nd.
“I’m always locked in… I’m just still enjoying the process of just being a recruit, because this is only happening one time. So, you know, I’m still going to just enjoy it. The other schools, I tell them, like, ‘Yeah, it’s going to be really hard to try and get me to flip, because it’s Ohio State.’ This is where I want to be.” – Chris Henry Jr. last summer.
Henry, the son of late Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry Sr., is expected to be a key addition to the Buckeyes’ tradition of elite wide receivers.
