2026 No. 1 prospect, Ohio State WR commit Chris Henry Jr. eyeing potential summer visits
Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei Five-Star Plus+ wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. is now the top-ranked prospect in the 2026 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking.
The elite pass-catcher has been committed to Ohio State for nearly 11 months now. He remains locked in with the Buckeyes, but is far from shutting down his process.
Henry tells On3 that he’s returning to Columbus this month on June 17. He’s also planning to visit LSU for the first time this summer and is looking to return to Eugene for another visit with Oregon. A trip to Texas isn’t out of the question, either.
For LSU, continued success at the receiver position peaks Henry’s interest. His father was born in Belle Chasse, La. and still has family down in The Boot. Receivers coach Cortez Hankton and Co. are in contact for the Tigers.
“History with receivers and the guys they’ve put out,” Henry said of his interest in LSU. “I have a great relationship with them, I talk to them a lot. They’ve been recruiting me.
I’m just excited to go up there and see what it is. With that being my father’s home state, the love is there.”
The Ducks had Henry on campus in the spring. The environment at Oregon has the coveted wideout eager to make the trip once more.
“I went there in the spring, I really enjoyed my time up there. I’m trying to go back,” he said. “Great people. great program, I loved what I saw when I went up there, so want to go up there and see that again and continue to build that relationship.”
All the same can be said about Ohio State, however. Receivers coach Brian Hartline continues to build an elite résumé of development, and Henry knows he can thrive in scarlet and gray. Pulling him away from the Buckeyes remains a tall task.
“Their history. They develop receivers and they put them out,” Henry said of OSU. “My relationships with Hartline, Coach Day, it’s great.”
