Chris Henry Jr. Eyes Polynesian Honor | Ohio State Buckeyes Football News

Freshman wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. is heating up the college football preseason, earning a spot on the Polynesian Player of the Year watch list — a prestigious award recognizing top Polynesian athletes across levels. Son of late NFL star Chris Henry and a five-star recruit, he’s already competing for a starting role at Ohio State despite a shortened senior year in high school, where he averaged nearly 25 yards per catch. The award, launched in 2015 by the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame, previously honored Haskell Garrett of Ohio State in 2021. Finalists will be announced December 8, with the winner revealed December 15. With big expectations and a legacy to live up to, Henry Jr.’s breakout season could be just beginning.
