Coming out of college, everything about Harrison screams big-time prospect. His tape, production, and even background as the son of Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison. Yet for the younger Harrison, this hype was built quickly. Coming out of St. Joseph’s Prep School in Philadelphia, Harrison Jr. was the 21st-ranked wide receiver and 160th overall prospect in the Class of 2021.
After seeing limited playing time as a freshman behind future first-round picks Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Harrison Jr. took off in 2022 as a true sophomore catching passes from C.J. Stroud. Despite a step back in quarterback play in 2023 when Kyle McCord took over under center for Ohio State, Harrison still put up massive numbers and won the Biletnikoff Award, which is given annually to the best wide receiver in the nation. He was also a Heisman finalist.
