Ohio State WR Chris Henry Jr. signs NIL deal with Nike

Chris Henry Jr., a five-star freshman wide receiver for Ohio State, has signed an NIL deal with Nike. This agreement places him alongside fellow Buckeyes Bo Jackson and Jermaine Mathews Jr. who also have deals with the athletic brand. Henry, who previously was associated with Adidas, will now represent Nike as part of the Buckeyes, a Nike-sponsored program. The signing comes amid ongoing recruitment discussions for fellow five-star prospect David Gabriel Georges, who is reportedly considering offers from both Ohio State and Tennessee. Georges is expected to announce his decision on July 22.
