Notre Dame 2026 wide receiver target Chris Henry Jr committed to Ohio State on Friday while on campus for the Buckeyes’ summer fest.
With Henry being a member of the 2026 recruiting class, there hadn’t been much traction in his recruitment since the Irish offered in January. He visited several schools this spring and summer but never reached Notre Dame for a visit.
Henry, an NFL legacy recruit and son of the late wide receiver Chris Henry, was an early priority for wide receiver coach Brian Hartline. According to his Rivals profile, the Cincinnati (Ohio) Withrow product had made four visits to Ohio State during his recruitment including Friday's trip.
It’s worth noting Henry was one of only four wide receivers the Irish and wide receivers coach Chansi Stuckey had offered in the 2026 class.
Below are the other three current targets.
As a freshman, Henry caught 29 passes for 292 receiving yards and five touchdowns.
Rivals has not given ratings or rankings to the 2026 class but Henry's offer list speaks for itself. The 6-foot-5, 174-pound recruit held 27 total offers including Cincinnati, Georgia, Michigan, Miami (Fla.), Penn State, Tennessee, Texas A&M, USC and West Virginia.
