Ohio State Football: Marvin Harrison Jr. hype getting stronger

The Ohio State football team is going to have a very strong wide receiving corps. They are going to be one of the best offenses period in all of college football. A lot of hype has been given to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and for good reason. But another receiver’s hype train is starting to leave the station too.

That receiver is Marvin Harrison Jr. Harrison Jr showed off what he can do in the Rose Bowl when he got his first significant snaps of the season. In that game, he caught three touchdown passes and showed off great hands and excellent body control.

Some social media clips of him working on his game have made the rounds as well.

Harrison Jr. is going to be the number two receiver for the Buckeyes this year. There is an extremely high chance that he ends this season with over 1,000 yards. He was a top recruit out of high school for a reason and he has a Hall of Fame father too.

Now that Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson are gone, the Buckeyes will be giving Harrison Jr. a lot more snaps to showcase his skills. He’s going to be a big part of the gameplan this year. He’s going to get a lot of targets too with defenses keying in on Smith-Njigba.

I’d be shocked if Harrison Jr. didn’t turn into a first-round pick in a couple of years when he is eligible. He’s got all of the tools to be a transcendent player. Hopefully, he starts showing those traits this year.
