The Harrison lineage is decorated with eye-catching receiving talent. Ohio State is ready to reap its benefits again.
Five-star St. Joseph’s Preparatory School (Pa.) wideout Jett Harrison, the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison and the younger brother of Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., has committed to the Buckeyes, per Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett.
News of Harrison’s commitment arrived on Wednesday. He chose Ohio State over Oregon and Miami, according to Fawcett. Harrison is the top overall Class of 2028 prospect in the Rivals300. He’s also the Rivals industry ranking’s No. 2 wide receiver in the class.
He’s garnered more attention as a high school recruit than his older brother, who was only a four-star prospect coming out of St. Joe’s in the 2021 class. In fact, Marvin Harrison Jr. was the No. 73 overall prospect and No. 11 wideout that year, according to the Rivals industry ranking. Of course, he wound up flourishing with the Buckeyes, winning the Biletnikoff Award and becoming a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2023.
As of now, there’s a size discrepancy between Jett Harrison and Marvin Harrison Jr. Jett is listed at 6-foot-1, 175 pounds. Meanwhile, Marvin Jr. is now up to 220 pounds and stands 6-foot-3. But Jett still has time to grow, as he’s gearing up for his junior season at St. Joe’s Prep in Philadelphia. Last season, he caught 50 passes for 849 yards and 12 touchdowns. Along the way, he piled up four scoring grabs versus Baltimore’s St. Frances Academy, a high school football powerhouse.
Ohio State's wide receiver pipeline certainly seems robust enough to weather the departure of Brian Hartline, the Buckeye receiving alum who transformed into a recruiting extraordinaire upon returning to Columbus and now is the head coach at South Florida.
After he left his post as Ohio State offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach, the Buckeyes still secured a signing from Chris Henry Jr., the top wideout in the 2026 class, according to the Rivals industry ranking.
Ohio State hasn’t skipped a beat recruiting a position at which it’s consistently developed top-tier NFL talent, particularly during the Ryan Day era. When Carnell Tate heard his name called by the Tennessee Titans in this year’s draft, he became Ohio State's sixth wideout selected in the first round in the past five years. Both he and Marvin Harrison Jr. went No. 4 overall. Also in that group of recent first-round Buckeye wide receivers is Jaxon Smith Njigba, the reigning NFC Offensive Player of the Year. He’s coming off a Super Bowl win with the Seattle Seahawks.
Jett Harrison’s commitment on Wednesday is the latest example of the Buckeyes flexing their receiver pedigree.
