Marvin Harrison Jr. has captured the B1G’s top offensive honor, landing the league’s Offensive Player of the Year award. He was announced as the recipient Wednesday afternoon during a BTN broadcast.
There was some stiff competition for the award this year, including Michigan QB JJ McCarthy and RB Blake Corum. In the end, the honor goes to Harrison as the conference leader in nearly every major receiving category.
