For better or worse, name, image and likeness has changed the world of college sports forever. College athletes now have the opportunity to cash in on their fame in ways that previously would’ve cost them their amateur status.
Some deals seem a perfect match and that’s exactly what this is. We all know Ohio State receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is one of the best players in college football. Sure, some of that may be genetics coming from a Hall-of-Fame father, but there is a great deal of hard work that goes into those phenomenal hands as well. And that’s where the pairing happens.
Harrison Jr. announced a new partnership with Monarc and the Seeker machine. Seeker is a robotic passing machine that allows for multiple balls to be loaded for more reps. It can deliver up to six balls every nine seconds and can be controlled with a touchscreen or joystick.
Harrison believes Seeker helped him get to new levels via his personal Twitter account.
“The Seeker was a big part of my success last year,” Harrison said. “I love training with the Seeker, it allows me to put in work myself and keeps me on top of my game.”

The Ohio State receiver broke out in 2022 with the Buckeyes and was widely regarded as the best receiver in the nation. Harrison Jr. hauled in 77 receptions for over 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns while wowing us week after week with acrobatic catches.
A very fitting endorsement deal indeed. The college football world is officially on notice (as if it wasn’t before) that Marvin Harrison Jr. is working to become even better. Now he’s just getting paid for the extra practice.
