Exclusive: Ohio State Coach Ryan Day Reveals Insider Secrets Behind Marvin Harrison Jr.’s Recruitment
The Arizona Cardinals selected Marvin Harrison Jr., a star wide receiver for the Ohio State Buckeyes, with the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Kyler Murray, the quarterback for the Cardinals, is anticipated to make him his primary target during his rookie year after being assigned the No. 18 jersey.
Harrison has moved on to the professional ranks, but he still has a close relationship with Ohio State. Ohio State football coach Ryan Day talked about Marvin Harrison Jr.’s collegiate recruitment in a video posted on Instagram with the caption “Marvin Harrison Jr: The Journey.”
When he originally started at La Salle [College], I believe I was the first to recruit him, Day remarked. “I went in to see him even as a freshman because I knew there was ability there, and I was recruiting Philly. I was therefore thrilled about hiring.
Harrison played for the Buckeyes for three seasons, amassing astounding stats of 2,532 yards and 31 touchdowns. As the son of wide receiver Marvin Harrison, who is inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, he comes with high expectations based on his accomplishments in college.
Harrison declared, “I adore Columbus.” “The fans, the city, and the people are all fantastic. Without a doubt, I will miss them. I already miss my coaches and teammates.”
Harrison stated that he is concentrating on studying the playbook and building a relationship with Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray when asked about his goals for his debut campaign.
His goal is to put in a lot of labor and then monitor the situation. Marvin Harrison Jr. is regarded as the best receiver prospect in the country.
Former OSU star Harrison was recognized twice as a unanimous All-American and was awarded the prestigious Fred Biletnikoff Award in 2023. In his final season with the Buckeyes, he recorded 1,211 yards for 14 touchdowns, with the latter being tied for third-most in the FBS.
As a high school student, Harrison was a four-star prospect and was ranked as the nation’s 14th-best receiver recruit. He was committed to playing college football at Ohio State University between 2021 and 2023.After being drafted by the Cardinals and completing his first practice session with them, Harrison was introduced to the press during the first round of the draft. However, fans still cannot purchase his official jersey from the Cardinals store, per reports.
This is because he has reportedly yet to sign his NFLPA contract, which is a standard agreement required for rookies entering the NFL. This contract allows players to market their name, image and likeness to over 80 companies. As a result, Marvin Harrison is unable to participate in a large number of marketing deals or feature in the popular Madden NFL video game on Playstation, Xbox and other consoles.
