“I appreciate having the opportunity to compete in the same city my father played and receiving all the love from the community for the past 2.5 years,” Henry wrote on social media. “Cincinnati will always be a special place to my siblings and I.” Henry committed to Ohio State last summer, becoming the latest highly touted wide receiver to land with the Buckeyes.

Now, the player ranked seventh overall by 247Sports in their 2026 recruitment

rankings will play his final two seasons for the dominant Southern California team before moving to Columbus to begin his collegiate career.
2009 saw the death of Henry’s father following a domestic fight that resulted in him falling out of the back of a moving truck. Henry Jr. and his siblings were taken in by former West Virginia teammate Adam “Pacman” Jones, who also assisted Henry Jr. with the recruiting process after his passing. In the end, the younger Henry chose Ohio State over several other schools, including USC, Michigan, Notre Dame, Tennessee, and more. Additionally, West Virginia, the university where his late father was selected in the NFL Draft, gave him top consideration right away.
