Ohio State football star Marvin Harrison Jr. discussed his NFL future following the Buckeyes’ heartbreaking loss to Michigan.
The Michigan Wolverines beat the Ohio State football program for the third straight year and advanced to the Big Ten championship game against Iowa after defensive back Rod Moore knocked down Kyle McCord on a pass intended for wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr..
The Ohio State football team was driving in an attempt to score a touchdown and go ahead with less than a minute to play when Moore eliminated McCord and allowed Michigan to kneel to run out the clock.
While Ohio State football will certainly play in a Bowl game or perhaps even the College Football Playoff, it’s a disappointing end to the regular season for the Buckeyes.
After the game, star wide receiver Harrison Jr. was asked if he planned to enter the NFL draft. He said he he hadn’t made up his mind However, according to On3 Sports:
“I don’t know. I don’t have an answer for you yet. Not a conversation to have. It’s just family. Coaches, teammates. I don’t have an answer for you yet.
Although he may not have broached the topic with his family, coaches and teammates, it is very likely that the Ohio State football star will enter the draft.
Harrison Jr. also defended McCord for the game-ending pass that sealed the loss to the Wolverines:
“He’s done a good job all year handling all the pressure and expectations that come with being a quarterback at Ohio State. I’m super proud of him. Before he is my quarterback, he is my friend and I will always support him through ups and downs.
The deadline to declare for the NFL Draft is January 16.
