When Ohio State landed a commitment from Harrison, it was thought of as a good move for depth on a unit that is already one of the best in the country. Since then, we’ve heard nothing but rave reviews, and it’s clear the coaching staff thought of it as more than that.

Harrison obviously has the genes being the son of a Hall of Famer, is rangy, high points the ball, and has great hands. In other words, he’s well beyond his years in maturity as a freshman receiver. He isn’t going to break into the offense as a starter, but it sure looks like he’ll be in the two-deep.
