With Harrison not praticing, it appears likely that the receiver will opt out of the bowl game. It’s expected that the receiver will begin training for the 2024 NFL Draft, where he is expected to be a top pick, especially at his position.
Harrison had a historic career for the Buckeyes. The receiver was a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2023 and collected 155 catches for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns over 3 seasons with the team.
