Ohio State football‘s top commit from the Class of 2026 is uncovering his planned enrolling visits over the spring and summer. The Buckeyes are coming off a mind-boggling 2024 season that saw the program come out on top for its 9th national championship in school history. Presently, Ryan Day and his team will have a target on their back as they hope to repeat on the school football mountain.

As the mission for title number ten starts, Ohio State football is forcefully enrolling. Notwithstanding, concerningly, one of the program’s top commits from the Class of 2026 is pondering his choices this offseason. Chris Henry Jr. is a 6’6, 200 lb wideout out of Santa Ana, California. The son of the late Chris Henry, who was a five-year wideout in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals, Henry Jr. is the No. 1 overall recruit for his class.

At this point, the wideout has been focused on Ohio State starting around 2023. Be that as it may, Henry has coordinated enrolling visits to different projects throughout recent months. As per National Recruiting/Transfer Portal Reporter Hayes Fawcett, Henry Jr. has secured official visits to Miami from May 30 to June 1, USC from June 6 to June 8, Oregon from June 13 to June 15, and Ohio State from June 20 to June 22.

Jeremiah Smith and Chris Henry Jr.’s wideout core would be electric

Ohio State football has been “Wide Receiver U” for quite a long time in the college football world. Also, it seems the Buckeyes as of now have another record-breaking perfect on their roster in Jeremiah Smith. The rookie had a noteworthy year in Columbus and carried that form into the College Football Playoff.

Smith had 19 catches for 381 yards and six touchdowns during these four games. After a moderately quiet semifinal showing, the 19-year-old got five passes for 88 yards and a touchdown in the National Championship win over Notre Dame. This included an immense 56-yard play that secured the title for the Buckeyes.

Since the Miami Gardens native isn’t qualified for the NFL Draft till 2027, if Henry Jr. focuses on Ohio State football, the two will be essential for the equivalent wideout core for the 2026-2027 season. That may be the best wide-receiving duo from a talent perspective since Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson were playing together at LSU. Nonetheless, there’s a ton of work to be done for the Buckeyes to affirm this chance.

In general, Henry Jr.’s choice to think about his options is essential for the business. Ohio State football should keep on enrolling the No. 1 overall prospect until the very day he signs his letter of intent. As they keep on offering their brand to prospective recruits and transfers, the Buckeyes will head into 2025 as the possible No. 1 team in the country. It’s precisely where this program hopes to be going into the season and precisely where it hopes to wrap up.
