Ohio State added another major name to its future with a Wednesday commitment from five-star wide receiver Jett Harrison, the nation’s No. 1 overall prospect in the 2028 recruiting class according to On3.
Harrison chose the Buckeyes over Oregon and Miami, giving Ryan Day and new wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton a huge early win in the cycle. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound standout from St. Joseph’s Prep in Philadelphia is also ranked by Rivals as the top player in the class and the No. 1 wide receiver nationally.
That kind of ranking comes with a lot of weight, and Harrison has already built the kind of résumé that makes the hype feel real. He’s known for his route running, body control and ball skills, and Rivals’ scouting report says his size, route-running ability and ball-tracking skills have drawn comparisons to Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson. Scouts also like how he creates separation and finishes tough catches in traffic.
The commitment also keeps a familiar football name tied to Columbus. Harrison is the younger brother of Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who became one of the most accomplished receivers in Ohio State history before going No. 4 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. Their father, Marvin Harrison Sr., is a Hall of Fame receiver who spent his entire NFL career with the Indianapolis Colts.
Jett Harrison has been willing to put his own stamp on that legacy. Earlier this summer, he told Rivals, "I think I'm better than him at this age," Harrison said.
"I'm more developed. He had his strengths, I have mine, and we are similar, but different."
Ohio State has spent the last decade building its reputation as "Wide Receiver U," and Harrison is the latest elite pass catcher to buy into that pitch. The Buckeyes’ recent NFL pipeline at the position includes Marvin Harrison Jr., Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Terry McLaurin, Emeka Egbuka and Jeremiah Smith.
Harrison becomes Ohio State’s third commitment in the 2028 class, joining four-star running back Elijah Newman-Hall and four-star defensive lineman Jameer Whyce. His pledge could also help the Buckeyes with other top targets down the road, especially at wide receiver, where Ohio State has consistently stacked high-end talent.
For now, though, Wednesday belonged to Ohio State, a program that keeps landing the kind of recruits that shape the national conversation. And with Jett Harrison on board, the Buckeyes have another blue-chip piece in place - and another Harrison headed to scarlet and gray.

Marcus Allen Just Shared The Update Miami Fans Prayed For
Marcus Allens first season with Miami was interrupted in December, when the forward was diagnosed and forced into treatment that ended his 2025-26 campaign before it could really get going. Seven months later, the Hurricanes now have a far more encouraging update on a player whose absence was felt long before the season even reached its stretch run.
Allen has been back in full practices as Miami turns its attention to 2026-27, a sign that the program can finally start looking ahead with him in the mix again. For a team that spent months waiting on news, the bigger picture is no longer about what was lost last winter, but about how much of a boost his return could provide once the new season arrives.

USC Policy Created An Opening In One Massive Recruiting Battle
Eli Woodards recruitment turned into a reminder that one schools rules can create an opening for another. The four-star wide receiver in the 2027 class had originally pledged to USC in February 2026, but once Miami and California entered the picture, he had to step back and reassess his options. USCs policy that committed players cannot visit other schools made the situation especially tricky, and it put Woodard in position to reopen things rather than stay locked in early.
Once he decommitted, Woodard lined up official visits to Miami, Cal and UCLA, giving the Hurricanes a real chance to make their case in a crowded race. USC still sits with 14 commits and a top-15 class by Rivals, but Miami found a way into a battle that had looked settled months earlier, and the ripple effect of that policy ended up reshaping one of the more interesting wide receiver recruitments in the cycle.

Miami Just Entered A Crucial Battle For Coveted Georgia EDGE
Miamis push on the edge is already carrying into the 2028 cycle, and one of the more important names on the board is Luke Nabors. The four-star defender from Buford, Georgia, has trimmed his recruitment to 10 schools, with Miami still in the mix as the Hurricanes continue to make edge talent a priority early in the cycle.
For Miami, the appeal is obvious: the staff is trying to build on its recent work at the position and keep stacking pass-rush talent for the future. Nabors is one of the more coveted edge prospects in his class, and with the Hurricanes already holding two commitments in 2028, staying in the hunt for a player of his caliber is another sign that this recruiting battle is only getting started.
