Urban Meyer and Gerry DiNardo have their pick for the Heisman trophy: Marvin Harrison Jr.
There’s only been 1 B1G WR to win the award, Desmond Howard in 1991. But Harrison’s talent is noticeable, and according to Meyer, he’s “one of the greatest NFL prospects” at WR.
On Tuesday, the 2 B1G analysts explained why Harrison should be seriously considered to win the award:

Heading into Week 10, Harrison is up to sixth in the national Heisman odds for the 2023 award. Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. and Michigan QB JJ McCarthy are the current frontrunners, but Harrison has been on a steady climb in recent weeks. Fans can get in on the action by using the Ohio sports betting code from Tradition.
The Buckeyes star WR is already up to 48 receptions for 889 yards and 8 touchdowns. And we still have 4 regular season games to go.
He’s been playing lights out the past few weeks especially. In the past 5 games, he has totaled just under 600 yards with 5 touchdowns and has scored in 4 straight games.
