The basics
Henry arrived at AZ Compass Prep for his junior year after stops at Withrow in Cincinnati and Mater Dei in California, per On3. 247Sports lists him at 6-foot-7 and 190 pounds. His father, Chris Henry, played receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, and his brother and sister both compete at Ohio State, per his Wikipedia entry and 247Sports. Listed as a SF at AZ Compass Prep, and he appears on the California board. Status: uncommitted.
The boards
The 247Sports composite ranks him No. 3 overall and No. 1 among small forwards, with On3 and Rivals placing him No. 4. Ballislife's EYBL coverage described a wing who attacks the rim with power, runs in transition, and scores from the perimeter without needing many dribbles. Hoops HQ's Peach Jam report called him a lefty swingman with easy three-point range whose athleticism gives him a complete scoring package at the high school level.
Production
Hoops HQ reported 20.2 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.9 steals, and 1.5 blocks a game across 11 EYBL games with Vegas Elite in 2026. Peach Jam box scores reported by Louisiana Hoops and Phenom Hoop Report included a 25-point, 8-rebound game and a 27-point, 9-rebound, 5-assist game. On3 reported 24 points a game for AZ Compass Prep last season, and 247Sports noted a silver medal with Team USA at the U18 AmeriCup.
The recruitment
On3 reported a cut to eight schools: Arkansas, BYU, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, North Carolina, Ohio State, and UConn. 247Sports has written that Ohio State carries weight because of his family ties there. Nothing is decided. He is uncommitted.

Nothing is decided. He is uncommitted. The Bella Vista vs. AZ Compass is the house piece that sits next to this card. The call on Henry is No. 3 in 2027. 20.2 points, 9.6 rebounds is the wing evidence out of AZ Compass Prep.
What to watch
Two questions decide whether No. 3 holds. Does the three-point shot hold up against the academy circuit's best closeouts, and does the lefty attack keep producing when the defense loads up on his strong hand.
