He is also listed as an (ATH) athlete who could play on either side of the ball for Indiana in the future but will likely play defense.

The four-star recruit chose the Hoosiers over his other top schools like Boston College, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Columbia, Cornell, East Carolina, Iowa, Kent State, Miami (Ohio), Ohio, Purdue, Toledo,Iowa State, Miami, Rutgers and Virginia.
The Hoosiers made a great impression during the 2024 season when Henry Ohlinger took his first visit to Bloomington with ESPN’s College GameDay on campus.
“Indiana has been great to me for a while now, and Coach Haines and Coach Cignetti have been great and are great,” Ohlinger told On3 . “I think that Indiana is the best place for me to develop as a player and a person under Coach Haines.”
Ohlinger is Indiana’s second commit in the 2026 class, the first was interior offensive lineman Sam Simpson from Wisconsin.
