CINCINNATI — A famous local wide receiver is visiting UC this weekend.

Chris Henry Jr., the son of former Bengals receiver Chris Henry is going to the UC game on Friday. The 2026 West Clermont (Ohio) pass catcher already holds eight offers from schools like Texas A&M, Ohio State, and Miami.

According to WR Hitlist, Henry Jr. is the No. 1 2026 receiver they've evaluated among 200 prospects. UC reached out to Henry in June and this is the next step in a years-long process to sign him.

He is also visiting Ohio State on Saturday following the UC game.

There are no official rankings for the 2026 class right now, but experts agree Henry is on his way to being a high four-star or five-star talent.

He has game-breaking ability in the open field and a catch-point acumen just like his late father's.

Already checking in at 6-foot-3, 170 pounds, Henry profiles as a top-tier outside receiver. Check out his ability from recent highlights.

UPDATE: The Bearcats offered Henry a scholarship on his visit.
