Dakorien Moore’s Latest Recruiting Pitch to Five-Star Wide Receiver Chris Henry

The Oregon Ducks have secured 18 signees so far to add to their 2026 recruiting class. However, some coaching changes at the Ducks’ Big Ten Conference rivals could lead to a flip, and some of Oregon’s current stars are putting on the pressure.

Five-star wide receiver Chris Henry Jr., who’s ranked by 247Sports as the No. 1 athlete in his position and No. 1 in his home state of California, announced on social media he’s delaying his letter of intent signing to the Ohio State Buckeyes due to “coaching changes.” The decision is considered to be in reaction to Ohio State offensive coordinator and former wide receivers coach Brian Hartline leaving to become the head coach at USF.

Recenlty, star Oregon freshman wide receiver Dakorien Moore posted onto social media, “Need you by my side,” and tagged Henry Jr. in an effort to recruit the fellow five-star. Moore also reposted ESPN’s coverage of his own post with the caption “History in the making” onto Instagram in yet another push for a potential Henry r. flip to Oregon.

Moore Pushes Some More

If those two posts didn’t already communicate Moore wants Henry to bring his talents to Eugene, the third highest yardage receiver on the Ducks (443 yards on the season while missing the last four games due to injury) also posted on his X account “God got you family” in direct response to Henry’s announcement of delaying his signing.

Who Else Joined the Party

Other Ducks jumping on the Henry Jr. recruiting party online is true freshman wide receiver Jordon Davison, who’s become the go-to guy for touchdowns throughout the season in his first year. Davison, a former Mater Dei teammate of Henry Jr., directly tagged the Ohio State commit with a post saying, “run it back.”

Class of 2026 committed running back Tradarian Ball also put out some support for Henry flipping, saying “Come join the family.”

In response to Henry’s announcement, several Oregon fans have flocked to the comments, encouraging the Mater Dei High School senior to consider joining the Ducks. Oregon’s fan base is notoriously one of the larger online presences for recruiting efforts.

Don’t count out the Buckeyes, as wide receiver Jeremiah Smith replied “WE NEED YOU!!!!” to Henry’s post. The message was reposted by Buckeye quarterback Julian Sayin.

The Latest on Henry

According to Rivals, the Texas Longhorns put in a substantial NIL offer to land Henry Jr. while Oregon coach Dan Lanning’s relationship with Henry continues to keep the Ducks in the race.

Interestingly, Oregon has a similar predicament to Ohio State with Ducks offensive coordinator Will Stein getting hired to be the next head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats. Where the situations differ, however, is that Hartline started recruiting Henry Jr. as his position coach before becoming the Buckeyes wide receiver. Oregon wide receivers coach Ross Douglas was hired in February 2025 and there are no indications of him leaving soon.

Ohio State has added a tight end as its first 2026 transfer portal addition

COLUMBUS, Ohio –Ohio State had added the first player to its 2026 transfer portal class.

Mason Williams is a former member of the 2023 recruiting class who spent his first three seasons as an Ohio Bobcat. After redshirting his freshman season, he’s spent the last two as a vital member of the Bobcats’ offense as both a blocker and a receiver.

In 1,133 snaps, Williams caught 48 passes for 565 yards and six touchdowns. As a blocker, he can be a reliable end-line tight end who can replace the loss of Will Kacmarek, who is out of eligibility. Kacmarek also came from Ohio in 2024 and spent the last two years as a major contributor, developing into one of the nation’s best blocking tight ends.

Williams will have two years of eligibility remaining in Columbus. His addition helps offset the loss of Kacmarek to graduation and Jelani Thurman to the transfer portal. He’ll join a room expected to feature Bennett Christian, Nate Roberts, Brody Lemon and Maxence LeBlanc. Nick Lautar will also join the room as an incoming freshman.

OSU is also waiting for the decision of Purdue transfer Max Klare, who has the option of declaring for the NFL Draft or returning in 2026.

Ohio State Transfer QB Lincoln Kienholz Commits to Louisville

Ohio State Transfer QB Lincoln Kienholz Commits to Louisville

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Louisville football program, presumably, has their QB1 for the 2026 season.

Former Ohio State quarterback Lincoln Kienholz announced Saturday that he has committed to the Cardinals. He will join Louisville will two years of eligilbility.

Keinholz is Louisville’s second portal commitment of the cycle, joining Kentucky cornerback D.J. Waller. The duo are the first to offset 21 portal defections that UofL has seen so far. The 14-day transfer window officially opened up this past Friday, and is the only opportunity for players to enter following the removal of the spring window.

The 6-foot-2, 214-pound quarterback was involved in a highly competitive battle for the Buckeyes’ starting gig in the preseason, before ultimately losing out to eventual Heisman Trophy finalist Julian Sayin. He saw action in seven games this past season, going 11-of-14 through the air for 139 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 66 yards and two scores on 11 attempts.

“Just a tremendous athlete,” OSU head coach Ryan Day said of Kienholz at Big Ten Media Days this past summer. “You pick a sport, he can do it. He’s like a four handicap [in golf]. He can hit the [baseball] out of the park. He was a major league baseball prospect. He can windmill dunk. He can do a lot of things.”

The Pierre, S.D. native spent three seasons in Columbus. As a true freshman in 2023, he played in three games, going 10-of-22 for 111 yards, while also rushing for two yards on six attempts. He did not log any stats during Ohio State’s 2024 national championship season.

Kienholz was a highly-regarded recruit coming out of high school, ranking as No. 194 prospect in the Class of 2023. He chose Ohio State over Illinois, Kansas State, Pitt, Washington, Wisconsin and others.

He has the inside track to be Louisville’s starter next season given recent roster movement. Previously, incoming true freshman Briggs Cherry was the lone scholarship quarterback on the roster after Deuce Adams, Brady Allen and Mason Mims all hit the transfer portal.

In their third season under head coach Jeff Brohm, Louisville went 9-4 overall, including a 4-4 mark in ACC play and a 27-22 win over Toledo in the Boca Raton Bowl. The Cardinals have won at least nine games in all three seasons under Brohm, doing so for the first time since 2012-14.
