It's been a rough first half for St. Joseph's Prep (Pennsylvania) against St. Edward (Ohio) in one of the high school football games of the week, but Jett Harrison has been a bright spot.

The Class of 2028 wide receiver didn't look like a freshman on a sideline catch that his dad, NFL Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, and brother, Arizona Cardinal Marvin Harrison Jr., would be proud of.

Jett Harrison runs a nice route, makes a sweet grab and tiptoes the sideline for an early catch Saturday against St. Edward in his high school football debut:

It's not easy to play varsity football as a freshman for national high school football power St. Joe's Prep, but Jett Harrison doesn't look like an ordinary freshman.

It's been one of the lone highlights for St. Joseph's Prep, which trails 35-7 after giving up all 35 in the second quarter.

Jett Harrison's older brother Marvin Jr. — who also starred at St. Joe's Prep — has said Jett is better at age 14 than he was.

Already standing 6-foot-1, Jett Harrison is taller than his dad (6 feet) and shorter than his brother (6-foot-3).

It wasn't a fun first half for St. Joseph's Prep fans, but it should be a fun next four years watching Jett Harrison get even better.

The second half was better for St. Joe's Prep, which showed some life but lost 35-21 at St. Edward.

Here's a nice catch over the middle by Jett Harrison in the second half:

Jett Harrison finished his first high school football game with four catches for 57 yards and looked like the best receiver on the field for the Hawks in their season opener.
