Oregon Ducks Make Push for 5-Star WR Chris Henry Jr.

The Oregon Ducks are making it clear they aren’t backing down in their pursuit of one of the top talents in the 2026 recruiting class.

Chris Henry Jr., a 5-star wide receiver and the No. 1 WR in the nation, has been committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes since July 2023. However, that hasn’t stopped Oregon from making a strong push. On Saturday, On3 reported that Henry is set to take another visit to Eugene next week, marking one of many trips he’s made to Oregon recently.

For a player like Henry, whose high school, Mater Dei in California, has developed a strong pipeline to Eugene, it’s no surprise that the Ducks are a major factor in his recruitment. Oregon head coach Dan Lanning has been aggressive in building a top-tier 2026 class, and Henry is a key piece in that vision.

Currently, Oregon holds the top spot in the national recruiting rankings for the 2026 class. The Ducks have also scheduled visits with other elite talents, including 5-star quarterback Jared Curtis, the No. 1 QB in the class.

This push for Chris Henry Jr. and other top prospects is a clear indication that Oregon is aiming to compete at the highest level in both recruiting and on the field. With top-tier facilities, a strong coaching staff, and a growing reputation, the Ducks are positioning themselves as a major player in the recruiting game.

As the 2026 class shapes up, all eyes will be on Henry’s decision, but Oregon is making a compelling case for why he should consider joining their ranks.
