Receiver AJ Henning plans to visit Ohio State
For all the talk about all the guys that visited Ohio State over this past weekend, there was one player noticeable absent. That was 2020 wide receiver A.J. Henning, a 4-star prospect from Frankfort (Ill.) Licoln-Way East ranked as the country’s 47th-best player.
“We were trying to figure out a way to come visit,” Henning told Lettermen Row. “But that didn’t happen. We’re going to figure out something where I can visit again after the season. Probably a basketball game or something.”
Henning made his first visit to the school in the summer and instantly hit it off with then receivers coach Zach Smith. When Smith left the program in July, his recruitment was thrown a bit into flux, and that was exacerbated by the fact that he spent more than half of his season on the sideline with injury. The time away from the playing meant focusing on rehab and not recovery for the 5-foot-10, 175-pound receiver. He did, however, start getting to know Brian Hartline a bit.
“Our season is over, so I can really focus on getting bigger, faster, stronger to prevent injury for next year and years to come,” Henning said. “I still stayed in contact with some coaches, but I really wanted to focus on just getting back out on the field.
“Coach Hartline is a coach I stayed in contact with. We’ve been in touch a good amount. I know he’s played in the league so he’s been through the whole process and knows what he’s talking about. The next step is just to build that face-to-face relationship and get me down to campus.”
