Big Win For Nebraska Cornhuskers: No. 1 Top 2025 Recruit Chris Henry Jr. Flips Commitment from Ohio State to Nebraska
In a stunning turn of events, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have secured a monumental victory on the recruiting trail, landing the commitment of five-star wide receiver Chris Henry Jr., the No. 1-ranked recruit in the 2025 class. Henry, who had previously committed to Ohio State, announced his decision to decommit from the Buckeyes and flip his commitment to Nebraska, choosing the Cornhuskers over powerhouse programs like Alabama and Auburn. This move marks a significant milestone for Nebraska football and signals a potential resurgence for the program under head coach Matt Rhule.
Henry Jr., the son of former NFL wide receiver Chris Henry, is widely regarded as one of the most dynamic and talented prospects in recent memory. Standing at 6’5″ with elite speed, hands, and route-running ability, he has drawn comparisons to some of the game’s greatest receivers. His decision to join Nebraska is a testament to the program’s renewed focus on building a championship-caliber team and its ability to compete with college football’s elite for top-tier talent.
For Nebraska, landing Henry Jr. is more than just a recruiting win—it’s a statement. The Cornhuskers have struggled to regain their former glory in recent years, but Rhule’s vision for the program appears to be resonating with recruits. Henry cited the coaching staff’s commitment to player development, the passionate fan base, and the opportunity to be a cornerstone of Nebraska’s rebuild as key factors in his decision. “I believe in what Coach Rhule is building here,” Henry said during his announcement. “I want to be part of something special and help bring Nebraska back to the top.”
This commitment is a game-changer for Nebraska’s 2025 recruiting class, which now boasts one of the most coveted prospects in the nation. Henry’s arrival will undoubtedly elevate the Cornhuskers’ offense and attract additional talent to Lincoln. It also sends a message to the rest of the Big Ten and the college football world: Nebraska is serious about competing at the highest level.
While Ohio State, Alabama, and Auburn will undoubtedly feel the sting of losing out on Henry, Nebraska fans are celebrating what could be the beginning of a new era for Cornhuskers football. With Chris Henry Jr. on board, the future in Lincoln looks brighter than ever.
