Last week, Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. came out of the gates and stumbled big time. A player largely considered the best wide receiver in the country and one of the top prospects in the 2024 NFL draft, Harrison could only muster two receptions for 18 yards against Indiana.
But on Saturday against Youngstown State, Harrison is on track and in a big way. Through one half, Harrison has seven receptions for 160 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns including the one below where he just burned the defender for the easy score.

In terms of draft stock, Harrison is a Top Five pick in the 2024 NFL draft, regardless of any ups and downs this season. The Buckeye quarterback situation isn’t great right now so until it improves, Harrison might not always have the gaudy numbers we’ve come to expect.
