Ohio State football is off to a strong start in recruiting the Class of 2028, adding the nation’s No. 2 wide receiver.

That’s Jett Harrison, the ​son of Pro Football Hall of Fame wide ‌receiver Marvin Harrison Sr. Jett’s older brother, also named Marvin, starred at Ohio State and was a first-round draft pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2024.

Jett is a rising junior at St. Joseph’s Prep ‌in ​Philadelphia. The 247Sports composite lists him ⁠as the No. 2 ⁠wide receiver and No. 4 player overall in the 2028 class.

Harrison announced his choice of Ohio State on Wednesday over numerous other suitors, including his father’s alma mater, ​Syracuse. Jett’s finalists were Miami, Oregon and Southern California, in addition to the Buckeyes.

Head coach Ryan Day and ⁠his staff also have secured commitments ⁠from a pair of four stars — edge ​Jameer Whyce of Dayton, Ohio, No. 4 at his position, ​and running back Elijah Newman-Hall from IMG Academy in ‌Bradenton, Fla.

With just those three players, the Buckeyes’ 2028 class is No. 1 in the nation at this very early state of recruiting.

Jett Harrison, listed at 6-foot-1 and 175 ⁠pounds, will have big footsteps to follow.

His brother played three seasons in Columbus — 2021-23 — and carved out an All-America career. Marvin ⁠Jr. made 155 ‌catches for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns ⁠and was a Heisman Trophy finalist in his ​final ‌season.

Their father also was an All-American. After ​college, he ⁠played 13 NFL seasons, all with the Indianapolis Colts, and won the Super Bowl to cap the 2006 season. He was selected a first-team All-Pro for the third time that season after recording 95 catches for 1,366 yards and 12 ​touchdowns.
