Ohio State Secures Top 2026 Recruits Bradford, Henry Jr.

Ohio State has secured commitments from two top prospects in the 2026 recruiting class, marking significant victories in their recruiting efforts. Five-star wide receiver Chris Henry Jr., who had considered Oregon, has decided to stay committed to Ohio State, stating his desire to be a Buckeye. Meanwhile, five-star safety Blaine Bradford from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has chosen Ohio State over LSU and Texas, citing the program as the best for his development. Bradford is ranked as the No. 1 safety and No. 23 overall prospect. These commitments showcase Ohio State's strong recruiting presence, especially in traditionally SEC-dominated areas, and reinforce their position as a leading program in college football. Both players are expected to be pivotal for Ohio State’s future, given their high rankings and potential.
