Harrison is already listed at 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds. He attends St. Joseph’s Prep School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
He chose the Buckeyes over several other top programs, including the Miami Hurricanes, Oregon Ducks, and USC Trojans.
Despite losing wide receivers coach Brian Hartline this past offseason to South Florida, Ohio State has not missed a beat in recruiting and landing talent at the position.
NFL Comparison
Harrison has the makings of a truly special prospect with the tools he brings to the position. According to Rivals, his NFL comparison is Minnesota Vikings superstar Justin Jefferson.
“Jett Harrison is a wide receiver prospect with a high skill level that reminds us of Justin Jefferson,” Rivals wrote. “Harrison’s size, route-running, and outstanding ball skills look similar to what we see from Jefferson. Harrison is a more well-known and established high school prospect, as Jefferson was a late riser.”
Marvin Harrison on Jett’s Talent
Marvin Sr. also spoke about his son’s talent, highlighting his competitive nature.
“The first and foremost thing is the competitive nature,” Marvin Sr. said. “Competitor is an understatement. The will to win. Obviously myself or his older brother, he’s been around this will to win, and losing is not an option. That’s what makes him who he is today. Losing is not an option.
“If you have an older brother and a dad that’s going to push you, he was never going to shy away from hard work. I think with Jett it’s, ‘What next? What’s next? I’m ready for it!’”
