Ohio State’s football program is making waves early in recruiting for the Class of 2028, landing a commitment from one of the top prospects in the country.
Jett Harrison, ranked the No. 2 wide receiver and No. 4 overall player in the 2028 recruiting class according to the 247Sports composite, announced Wednesday that he will play for the Buckeyes. He chose Ohio State over finalists Miami, Oregon, and Southern California, as well as Syracuse — the school his father attended.
The Harrison name carries enormous weight in college and professional football. Jett’s father is Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Marvin Harrison Sr., who spent all 13 of his NFL seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. The elder Harrison capped the 2006 season by winning the Super Bowl, and that same year earned first-team All-Pro honors for the third time after posting 95 receptions for 1,366 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was also an All-American during his college days.
Jett’s older brother, Marvin Jr., blazed a trail at Ohio State before him. Playing in Columbus from 2021 to 2023, Marvin Jr. compiled 155 catches for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns, earned All-America recognition, and was a Heisman Trophy finalist in his final season. He was then selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals.
Now Jett, a rising junior at St. Joseph’s Prep in Philadelphia who stands 6-foot-1 and weighs 175 pounds, will look to carve out his own legacy in Columbus.
Head coach Ryan Day and his staff have also secured commitments from two four-star prospects to round out the early 2028 class: edge rusher Jameer Whyce of Dayton, Ohio, ranked No. 4 at his position, and running back Elijah Newman-Hall from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
With just those three commitments in place, Ohio State’s 2028 recruiting class already sits at No. 1 in the nation.
