A sophomore from Philadelphia, Harrison has hauled in 72 passes for 1,157 yards and 12 touchdowns for the Buckeyes this season. That includes a pair of three-touchdown performances in wins over Arkansas State and Michigan State.

Harrison was recently named the Big Ten's receiver of the year and finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, as well as a first-team All-American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation, Football Writers Association of America and the Associated Press.

He's already the program's first consensus All-American receiver since Terry Glenn in 1995 and needs just the American Football Coaches Association to name him a first-team selection on Wednesday to be Ohio State's first-ever unanimous All-American wideout.

Eichenberg, a redshirt junior from Cleveland, has recorded a team-high 112 tackles – including 72 solo stops – 12 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and one interception that he returned for a touchdown.
