Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has officially declared for the 2024 NFL Draft, making him a key player to watch for the Arizona Cardinals.
In his announcement, Harrison expressed gratitude to his teammates, family, and fans before revealing his decision to turn professional. Despite speculation about a lucrative NIL deal that might have enticed him to return for another season, Harrison is moving on after an impressive career with the Buckeyes. He was a unanimous All-American and won the Biletnikoff Award, recognizing him as the nation’s top receiver. Over his two years as a starter at Ohio State, he accumulated 2,356 yards and 28 touchdowns.
The Cardinals, who need to bolster their receiving corps regardless of Marquise Brown’s future with the team, see Harrison Jr. as a prime target. With potential additions like tight end Trey McBride, a healthy Michael Wilson, and possibly another top receiver, pairing Harrison Jr. with quarterback Kyler Murray could create an exciting offensive lineup. While other promising receivers like Rome Odunze and Malik Nabers are also in the draft, Harrison Jr. is viewed as a standout prospect for the team.
