Ohio State Buckeyes star Marvin Harrison Jr. entered the NFL Draft following the conclusions of the 2023 seson, immediately becoming the No. 1 receiver and one of the most desired prospects in the class.

On Thursday, Harrison Jr. became one of 13 prospects to be accept and invitation to attend the draft later this month, joining quarterbacks Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Drake May, fellow receivers Rome Odunze, Brian Thomas Jr. and Malik Nabers, corners Terrion Arnold and Quinuon Mitchell, offensive lineman JC Latham, defensive linemen Laiatu Latu and Darius Robinson and edge rusher Dallas Turner.

Harrison is projected as a top-10 (or perhaps even top-five) pick in the draft this spring, depending on what happens with the quarterbacks early on Day 1.

He ended his Buckeyes career with 155 catches for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns, and as arguably the best receiver to ever step foot on the field for Ohio State, setting a Buckeyes record this season for the most 100-yard receiving games with 15 in a career.

This past season alone, Harrison Jr. had 67 catches for 1,211 yards and 14 scores in one of the best single seasons in school history.

As a result, Harrison was named a unanimous All-American, and a Heisman Trophy finalist. He was the only wideout to be nominated and the only non-quarterback position player.

Harrison is as much of a lock to be a top-10 pick as has been seen in Ohio State history, and when he is selected he is set to become the ninth Buckeyes wideout to be selected in the first three rounds in the last 10 seasons.
