Marvin Harrison Jr. sets Ohio State record during latest huge performance
Marvin Harrison Jr.’s night is done early in Week 11 with Ohio State’s starters pulled for the fourth quarter vs. Michigan State. However, the superstar wide receiver went off during his time on the field, including some big touchdowns early on.
In fact, Harrison went 3-for-3 on touchdowns during Ohio State’s first 3 drives of the game. That included a pair of receiving touchdowns and his first-ever rushing touchdown as a Buckeye.
When he was finally pulled from the game, Harrison had 7 catches for 149 yards and 2 scores. That gives Harrison 14 career games with 100+ receiving yards, tying program legend David Boston for the most in OSU history.

Harrison entered the game with 914 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns on the season, meaning he has now eclipsed 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons. In the process, he’s the first Buckeye receiver with multiple seasons of 1,000 receiving yards.
He is just 2 touchdown catches off his career-high of 14 set last season and 5 touchdowns away from the single-season record of 17. That was set by Terry Glenn during the 1995 season.
Marvin Harrison Jr. has just become the first WR in @OhioStateFB history with two 1,000-yard receiving seasons. He had 1,263 during his unanimous All-American season of 2022 and he now has 1,009 so far this year.
