Marvin Harrison Jr. is widely predicted to be a top-five pick in the upcoming NFL Draft and the first wide receiver selected. However, the Ohio State Buckeyes star has not ruled out a potential return to college football next season.
During an interview session on Thursday afternoon, Marvin Harrison Jr. made it very clear that he has not yet decided whether or not he will declare for the 2024 NFL Draft, leaving the door open for a potential return to Ohio State.
According to Ohio State beat writer Tony Gerdman of Buckeye Huddle, Harrison said that his desire to beat Michigan and win a Big Ten Championship are the reasons why he is leaving the door open for a return. He also claims that money will not be a factor in his decision.

“I want to beat the team up north and win a Big Ten Championship,” Harrison said, according to Gerdeman.
Harrison has established himself as one of the top wide receivers in college football. He is a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award as well as the Heisman Trophy. But he said that he would trade all of the individual accolades for a win over Michigan.
“I would trade it all for a win against the team up north,” Harrison said.
We’ll have to see if Harrison’s desire to see a win over Michigan is enough to overcome his top-five NFL draft projection.
