Ohio State football is known for its prestigious runs and star-studded lineups. Their efforts start with recruiting players like Marvin Harrison Jr. They may have found another star in the making with wide receiver Chris Henry Jr.

Chris Henry Jr. is a great prospect. He amazed the Ohio State football staff so much last year that he walked away with an offer as an eighth-grader at their June camp. The 2026 prospect still has three years of high school varsity football to play.

Henry Jr. already has 24 offers that span the whole country. Despite this, he remains attached to his goal of development. The prized wide receiver emphasized its importance to him in a statement, via Cleveland.com.

“I always feel like I’m getting better every time I’m working. I just see it as a blessing and used that to get better. To continue to get better every day,” the 2026 Ohio State football prospective recruit said.
