Plantz showed off his ability to shoot the ball from the outside and can simply shoot over shorter defenders. Combine that with his coordination and explosiveness and he's a guy to watch in 2026.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1705960"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"The son of the late Chris Henry, former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, Henry Jr is a football first prospect who has five-star potential.

Yesterday our initial rankings for the 2026 class came out and it's time to break down the 15 players who made the rankings. After discussing the guards it's now time to focus on the wings who already caught our eye after their freshman season.

Another big-time shooting prospect, Smith is a stretch wing capable of playing at either forward position. I’ve already been impressed with the steps Smith has taken with his handle and defensive ability, which still has a way to go, from the fall to the winter. Smith’s shooting ability combined with his size intrigued me in the beginning, but if he continues to impact the game in other ways like secondary passing ability, rebounding and defensively, he can max out his potential that is through the roof.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers. Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
