Chris Henry Jr. Reaffirms, Signs With Ohio State After Late Recruiting Drama

Ryan Day’s emphasis on Ohio State’s receiver development convinced the five-star following a brief pause over Brian Hartline’s exit.

Overview

  • Henry announced his decision live on The Pat McAfee Show after phoning Day to inform him directly.
  • Ohio State later confirmed he has officially signed his National Letter of Intent.
  • His two-day delay began when receivers coach Brian Hartline accepted the South Florida head-coaching job, with reports indicating Hartline will stay through Ohio State’s postseason run.
  • Oregon led a renewed late push alongside USC, Texas and LSU, with multiple outlets reporting significant NIL offers, but Henry chose the Buckeyes.
  • Recruiting services rank Henry as the nation’s top wideout in the 2026 cycle, and Day highlighted the program’s track record of producing first-round NFL receivers during their renewed talks.
