Ohio State continues to use its NFL pipeline to build toward future success, and Sunday night was no exception.
Fresh off a national championship win over Notre Dame in January, the Buckeyes are attempting to do just that on a more consistent basis. To do that, elite talent isn't just necessary, it's a necessity.
The Buckeyes offered Jett Harrison, Marvin Harrison Jr.'s younger brother, a member of the Class of 2028 and also a wide receiver. On3's Hayes Fawcett was the first to reveal the Buckeyes' interest alongside a post from Jett Harrison himself.
"Thanks for the offer," Jett Harrison wrote.
Although Jett Harrison still has plenty of time remaining in his recruiting cycle, Harrison Jr. sees many similarities between his younger brother and their dad, Marvin Harrison, who won a Super Bowl with the Indianapolis Colts and was inducted into the 2016 Pro Football Hall of Fame class.
"He's great. He's definitely more talented than I ever was at that age," Marvin Harrison Jr. told reporters in Nov. 2023 via Lantern Sports. "He sees me here [at Ohio State] and naturally he wants to follow in my footsteps."

With Jett Harrison's recruitment having begun in January, other schools have started to take notice than just Ohio State. They include the Tennessee Volunteers, Boston College Eagles, Duke Blue Devils and Syracuse Orange.
Jett Harrison hails from Philadelphia, Pa., and plays for St. Joseph's High School. According to his 247 Sports profile, Jett Harrison is 6-foot-1, 175 pounds and still has room to grow to live up to his brother's expectations.
Marvin Harrison Jr. is entering his second NFL season this fall, as he finished his rookie year with 62 receptions for 885 yards and eight touchdowns.
Whether the Buckeyes can work their magic remains to be seen, but landing Jett Harrison could send a message to the rest of college football that any sign of irrelevance will have to wait a little while longer.
