Breaking News: Five-Star WR Chris Henry Jr. Commits to Ohio State, Cancels Visits to Michigan, Alabama, and LSU

In a huge development for Ohio State football, five-star wide receiver prospect Chris Henry Jr. has announced his commitment to the Buckeyes for the 2025 season. The highly coveted recruit made the decision public today, confirming his choice to join one of the nation’s top programs and cancel upcoming visits to Michigan, Alabama, and LSU, signaling his unwavering dedication to Ohio State.

Henry, a dynamic playmaker from St. Louis, Missouri, has been one of the most highly sought-after wide receivers in the 2025 class. Standing at 6’4” and possessing an elite combination of speed, size, and athleticism, he is widely regarded as one of the most complete receiving prospects in recent years. Over the past year, Henry has dominated on the field, making jaw-dropping catches and showcasing his ability to stretch the field, while also serving as a major threat after the catch.

The decision to commit to Ohio State comes after months of speculation and a whirlwind recruiting process that saw Henry linked to some of college football’s top programs. With offers from nearly every major school, including Michigan, Alabama, and LSU, the Buckeyes made a major push and ultimately emerged as the frontrunner for his services.

“I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, and Ohio State just felt like the right place for me,” Henry said in an exclusive statement. “The coaches, the culture, and the opportunity to play for a championship program all made it clear to me that this is where I want to be. I’ve had the chance to visit the campus and meet the staff, and everything just felt like a perfect fit.”

Henry’s commitment to Ohio State is a monumental win for head coach Ryan Day and offensive coordinator Brian Hartline, who has established himself as one of the best wide receiver coaches in college football. Hartline, who has developed countless NFL-caliber receivers, played a major role in Henry’s decision. The Buckeyes’ high-powered offense, led by Day, has been a major draw for top-tier wide receiver prospects, and Henry will now have the chance to become the next star in that system.

Henry’s decision to cancel his visits to Michigan, Alabama, and LSU speaks volumes about his commitment to Ohio State, further solidifying the program’s recruiting prowess. His ability to be a game-changing presence in the Buckeyes’ offense next season has already created excitement among fans and analysts alike.

As one of the highest-rated recruits in the country, Chris Henry Jr. is expected to make an immediate impact when he arrives in Columbus. With his commitment secured, Ohio State fans can now look forward to watching one of the most electrifying wide receivers in the nation join the Buckeyes’ dynamic offense for the 2025 season.
