Chris Henry Jr. stands out as top receiver for Ohio State
Summary

Chris Henry Jr. is widely regarded as Ohio State's future star receiver as the college football season approaches. Committed since 2023, he is the top-ranked wide receiver and was named a Navy All-American after a strong, albeit limited, high school career. Henry made an immediate impression during Ohio State's spring game, catching four passes for 96 yards, including a 40-yard touchdown. With current standout Jeremiah Smith still on the team, Henry will have time to acclimate to the college level while contributing to Ohio State's national title aspirations.
