Ohio State five-star commit Chris Henry Jr. named No. 1 recruit from Class of 2026 by ESPN

Ohio State commit Chris Henry Jr. has been named ESPN’s top recruit from the Class of 2026.

A five-star wide receiver, Henry is listed at 6 feet 6 and 195 pounds on 247Sports.

Henry transferred to Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California, at the start of his junior year, but had his season cut short due to a knee injury.

Henry spent his first two high schools seasons in Ohio, playing his freshman year at West Clermont and his sophomore year at Withrow, both near Cincinnati.

Chris Henry Jr. was at Ohio Stadium to watch the Ohio State Buckeyes take on the Michigan Wolverines in an NCAA football game on Saturday Nov. 30, 2024.

Henry broke the school record of receiving yards with 1,127 at Withrow in 2023 while also grabbing 10 touchdowns.

Henry committed to Ohio State in July 2023, and is the son of late Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry.
