Marvin Harrison Jr. has been making superstar plays for Ohio State all season long. Facing Minnesota in Week 12, Harrison was held somewhat in check as Emeka Egbuka flashed back onto the scene, but he still recorded a receiving touchdown for a 7th straight game.
As a result, Harrison was officially named a semifinalist for the prestigious Biletnikoff Award. That honor is given every year to the outstanding FBS receiver at any position.
Harrison was joined on the list by Georgia TE Brock Bowers, Mizzou WR Luther Burden III, Florida State WR Keon Coleman, Oregon WR Troy Franklin, South Carolina WR Xavier Legette, LSU WR Malik Nabers, Washington WR Rome Odunze, LSU WR Brian Thomas and Virginia WR Malik Washington.
