Overview

  • The five-star wide receiver delayed signing after learning Ohio State assistant Brian Hartline accepted the USF head-coaching job.
  • Recruiting outlets say the finalists are Ohio State, Oregon, USC and Texas, with an on-air decision set for Friday midday.
  • Analysts who projected Oregon to flip him on Thursday now report growing confidence from Ohio State and doubt within Oregon on Friday morning.
  • Ryan Day personally called Henry, emphasizing the Buckeyes’ track record of nine first-round NFL receivers, according to Rivals reporting.
  • Ohio State signed four-star 2026 receiver Jerquaden Guilford on Thursday, and Hartline is expected to remain with the Buckeyes through their postseason run.
