Star wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. of the Ohio State Buckeyes has officially announced his entry into the 2024 NFL Draft after completing three seasons in Columbus, participating in 38 games for the Buckeyes. Following in the footsteps of his father, Marvin Harrison Sr., who was a first-round pick in the 1996 NFL Draft and enjoyed a stellar 13-year career with the Indianapolis Colts, Harrison Jr. is poised to make his mark in the professional league.
The decision to declare for the draft was widely anticipated, given Harrison’s projection as a top-5, or possibly even a top-2, pick in the upcoming spring draft. In his Instagram announcement, Harrison expressed gratitude to God, his family, teammates, coaches, and everyone associated with The Ohio State University football program for their support throughout his college career.
Closing his Buckeyes chapter with impressive statistics, Harrison concludes with 155 catches for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns, solidifying his status as arguably the best receiver in Buckeyes history. Setting a record for the most 100-yard receiving games in a career this season, Harrison’s standout performance includes 67 catches for 1,211 yards and 14 touchdowns. His remarkable achievements in the current season earned him the title of unanimous All-American and Heisman Trophy finalist, distinguishing him as the sole wide receiver and non-quarterback position player in the nominations.
With Harrison’s impending selection in the NFL draft, he is expected to secure a spot among the top 10 picks, further adding to the legacy of Ohio State wideouts chosen in the first three rounds over the past decade. His exceptional skills and accomplishments position him as potentially the best among his Buckeyes predecessors.
