Malik Harrison, Ohio State
Ohio State has been a factory for pass-rushers in recent seasons, but just because we love the moon doesn’t mean that we should neglect the stars. Harrison is one of the latest NFL prospects to come from that program, and as a prospect, he does not look out of place.
Harrison was a two-year starter for the Buckeyes and in his senior season, he exploded off the stat sheet. He logged a team-high 75 tackles, with 16.5 tackles for loss to go alongside 4.5 sacks. Harrison is an exceptional athlete who wanted to play on the offensive side of the ball in college. He was offered a place at both Indiana and Wisconsin as a tight end. But he instead chose a defensive path with Ohio State.
Harrison boasts prototypical height, weight, and speed for the linebacker position. At present, he is an excellent run defender but could very well develop into a disruptive force in the passing game. Harrison would certainly be an intriguing selection should the Ravens look to spend a second-round pick on him.
