St. Joseph's Prep wide receiver Jett Harrison catches a pass in the end zone to score an 19-yard touchdown reception in the first half of the PIAA Class 6A football championship game against Central Catholic at Cumberland Valley High School, Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024, in Silver Spring Township, Pa.

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.
