With elite NFL pedigree, look for Marvin Harrison Jr. to become a sophomore star
While the defense remains the bottleneck for this potential juggernaut team, let’s look at why Ohio State can absolutely win the national title this fall. Being the most talented team in the Big Ten certainly helps them. What gets the Buckeyes over the top is this, and it is really simple: They have the best wide receiver room in the nation by a country mile. C.J. Stroud is an elite quarterback.
Even after losing Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson to the NFL Draft, the Ohio State receiving corps will be led by Jaxon Smith-Njigba. It might be Julian Fleming’s time to shine, but he is being chased by two emerging stars who are sophomores in Emeka Egbuka and Marvin Harrison Jr. Though he is not a former five-star himself, Harrison is named after his Pro Football Hall of Fame father…
People were wondering who was going to step in Olave and Wilson’s absences in the Rose Bowl. Smith-Njigba was a given, but this was the first time many college football fans realized that Marvin Harrison’s son was not only a Buckeye, but he was every bit the real deal. With Stroud poised to contend for the Heisman Trophy and be the No. 1 overall pick, he has balls to complete.
Harrison has a chance to be the best No. 2 wide receiver in the nation in his sophomore campaign.
