Marvin Harrison Jr. had a number of ridiculous catches on his way to a unanimous All-American season in 2022. One of those was spotlighted by FOX analyst RJ Young.
The particular play was Harrison’s acrobatic sideline grab against Indiana. After going up high on the sideline, Harrison was able to reach a foot down inbounds at an insanely awkward angle for any normal human being.

Fortunately, Harrison is not any normal human being. His catch also left Young amazed at the flexibility displayed by the Buckeye receiver.
Here’s the catch and Young’s analysis:

“My knee is snapped like 7 times watching this, and the idea that he got a foot down inbounds and made this catch is ridiculous,” said Young “I think this is the catch that solidified him as a Biletnikoff Award finalist.”
Now, Harrison will try to come up with more big plays for Ohio State in the College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes will likely need Harrison to come up big with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and TreVeyon Henderson officially ruled out against Georgia.
