During his time at Ohio State, Marvin Harrison Jr. became the most decorated WR in program history. Among his accolades is winning the 2023 Biletnikoff Award as the Most Outstanding WR in college football and a two-time All American. He caught 155 passes for 2,613 yards as a Buckeye and found the end zone 31 times, averaging nearly 17 yards per catch.
Affectionately called Maserati Marv by FOX Sports’ Gus Johnson for his playmaking ability, No. 18 will be an elite addition to the Arizona offense. Whether lined up outside or in the slot, Harrison can showcase his smooth route running, otherworldly body control, and precise ball control. As the crown jewel of Brian Hartline’s WR room, Harrison will continue the tradition of producing great wide receivers in the NFL for Ohio State.
Harrison stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 205 pounds, which is an impressive frame for a wide receiver with his versatile skillset. He was a game-changing wide receiver and playmaker for three years at Ohio State. Harrison first flashed for the Buckeyes in the 2021 Rose Bowl versus Utah, where he caught three touchdown passes from QB CJ Stroud. The St. Joe’s product never looked back en route to capping his collegiate career with the Biletnikoff Award last season.
Expect to see Harrison blossom into an All-Pro WR for the Cardinals as he pursues his dream to “be the best receiver to ever play” throughout his career that will likely end with a Gold Jacket.
