Harrison Commits to Ohio State
On Wednesday, five-star wide receiver Jett Harrison of St. Joseph’s Prep in Philadelphia announced via social media his commitment to Ohio State’s 2028 class. The 6-foot-1, 180-lb athlete visited the campus twice in June, selected the Buckeyes over offers from Miami and Oregon, and will be eligible to sign a National Letter of Intent in December 2027.
Family Legacy
Harrison is the son of NFL Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison and the younger brother of former Ohio State All-American Marvin Harrison Jr., a two-time unanimous All-American, Biletnikoff Award winner and 2024 fourth-overall NFL draft pick. Ohio State’s recent receiver lineage—Garrett Wilson, Emeka Egbuka, Jaxon Smith-Njigba—adds prominence to the Harrison family pipeline.
Key Figures
Head coach Ryan Day and new wide-receiver coach Cortez Hankton guided Harrison’s recruitment. He joins defensive lineman Jameer Whyce and running back Elijah Newman-Hall, the other 2028 pledges. Recent signings include 2029 receiver Austin Miller and 2028 recruit Jaden Donahoo, giving Ohio State three wide-receiver prospects for the class.
