After much speculation, five-star wide receiver recruit Chris Henry Jr. has announced that he has stuck with his commitment to Ohio State.

Henry, who is widely considered the top receiver in this recruiting class, opened his recruiting options once again after Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline was hired as head coach at South Florida.

The former Mater Dei standout also considered Oregon, USC and West Virginia (where his late father played college football alongside Hartline).

This was a huge victory for Ohio State head coach Ryan Day, who kept Henry Jr. committed despite losing an offensive coordinator two seasons in a row.

Henry Jr. will join a receivers room already loaded with talent next season, including Jeremiah Smith.
