Zach Harrison draws massive praise from Ryan Day, Jim Knowles following performance vs. Iowa
By Paul Harvey
Published:
Zach Harrison has been juggling high expectations since he came to Columbus. A former 5-star prospect, many envisioned the impact of a Bosa Brother or a Chase Young for Harrison.
Unfortunately, Harrison’s start with the Buckeyes was to a lesser degree with 7.5 sacks over his first three seasons. Now in his senior campaign, Harrison’s not letting those past numbers or expectations slow him down.
In Saturday’s win over Iowa, Harrison produced 2 tackles, 1 sack, 2 TFL, 1 pass breakup, and a QB hurry. His sack also produced a forced fumble off Iowa QB Spencer Petras.
