Five-Star WR Chris Henry Jr. Delays Signing as Oregon Emerges as Front-Runner

Analysts now peg Oregon as the favorite, citing ties to Dan Lanning plus NIL momentum.

Overview

  • Henry paused his planned Ohio State signing on Wednesday after receivers coach Brian Hartline left to become USF’s head coach.
  • Rivals analysts have logged flip predictions to Oregon, and On3 reports the Ducks moved to the top based on Henry’s rapport with Dan Lanning and a strong NIL package.
  • Ohio State’s Ryan Day made a late call stressing the program’s nine first-round NFL receivers and noting Oregon has produced none, per Rivals reporting.
  • Reports indicate a decision could come quickly, though Henry retains the option to wait until March and still participate in spring camp.
  • Texas presented a significant NIL offer despite no visit, USC and West Virginia are in contact, and Ohio State secured four-star WR Jerquaden Guilford’s signature while awaiting Henry’s choice.
