Chris Henry Jr. Shines in Ohio State Spring Game With 40-Yard TD

The exhibition offered an early look at new playmakers with veteran availability still unsettled.

Overview

  • The freshman wide receiver caught a 40-yard touchdown from sophomore Tavien St. Clair and finished with four receptions for 96 yards.
  • The split-squad scrimmage ended with the Gray team beating the Scarlet team 35-26.
  • The defense produced big plays, including Beau Atkinson's sack and interception off quarterback Julian Sayin and Devin Sanchez's pass breakup against Jeremiah Smith.
  • Henry entered as the No. 1 wide receiver in the 2026 recruiting class, and his debut suggested immediate help for Ohio State's passing game.
  • Reports differ on whether Sayin and Smith will return next season, leaving a major roster question as coaches use the spring scrimmage to sort roles for the fall.
