In a shocking turn of events, top wide receiver prospect Chris Henry Jr. has delayed his decision to commit to Ohio State, Oregon, or USC, citing coaching changes that have left the recruitment process in limbo. The 18-year-old's planned announcement on Wednesday was derailed when news broke that Ohio State's receivers coach, Brian Hartline, was leaving the program to become head coach at USF. The sudden change has reportedly stunned Henry, who had initially committed to Ohio State in 2023. As the early signing period gets underway, Henry has clarified that he has not made a decision, stating that he wants to 'make the right decision for my future.' His uncertainty has opened the door for Oregon, which is now considered the favorite to land the highly touted recruit. The Ducks are currently ranked No. 2 in the nation for the 2026 class, and adding Henry would likely propel them to the top spot ahead of USC. A final decision is expected to be made in the coming days, with the early signing window closing soon. The recruitment saga continues to unfold, with all three schools vying for the services of the highly sought-after wide receiver.
