The Ohio State Spring Game is not even through the first quarter, and Chris Henry Jr. is already living up to the hype. Henry came to Columbus as the No. 1 receiver in the 2026 recruiting class and a player that many felt could slide in to fill the role vacated by Carnell Tate. If his first-quarter performance is a glimpse of things to come, it very well could be Henry's job to lose.With one long reception under his belt, Chris Henry Jr. hauled in a 40-yard touchdown pass from sophomore Tavien St.

Clair. The connection was smooth with St. Clair dropping a dime right in the breadbasket of the freshman Henry, who created several yards of separation, walking into the endzone.
