Marvin Harrison Jr discusses fashion in football

To say Marvin Harrison Jr. has a future in football would be an understatement, but don’t discount his passion for fashion.

The Ohio State wide receiver has been known to rock some awesome outfits throughout his time with the Buckeyes, so expectations are high entering the College Football Playoff. However, he’s keeping it simple while on the field, as he explained ahead of a showdown with Georgia.

“Nothing during the game. I kind of had an incident earlier in the year that I wish I could have back. I try to keep all the fashion things before the game,” Harrison Jr. told the media. “On game day, I like to wear black cleats, white laces, something very simple.”

Continuing, Harrison Jr. also explained that he relies on his mom for some help when getting his suits ready during the regular season.

“Usually during the regular season, I get my suit ready. Me and my mom talk about it and give her the idea, and she helps me get the suit,” added the star wide receiver. “This game we have to wear our normal suit with the team, so not too much fashionable things for me.”

While all eyes will be on Marvin Harrison Jr. on the field, his fashion-sense will attract some off of it. The excitement for his pregame fit is building, and soon we’ll see what he rocks.

Marvin Harrison Jr. looking to make a name for himself in College Football Playoff

Some people recognize Marvin Harrison Jr.’s name because of his father, Hall of Fame wide receiver Marvin Harrison. Others recognize it for his contributions over his last two seasons for Ohio State.

However, ahead of his first appearance in the College Football Playoff, Harrison Jr. says he’s ready for people to recognize his name for something else. By the end of their playoff run, whether it finishes in the Peach Bowl against Georgia or the National Championship, he wants the world to know his name for being the phenomenal talent that he is.

“I’m my own player first and foremost,” Harrison Jr. said. “My dad did great things. But now I’m trying to be myself and go out there and make a name for myself. Be the best receiver I can be.”

Harrison Jr.’s freshman year saw him finish seventh on the Buckeye’s team in receiving. A majority of that production came during a breakout performance he had in the Rose Bowl. As a sophomore, though, he has dominated the talented Ohio State receiving corps. He finished first on the team in catches (72), receiving yards (1,157), and reception touchdowns (12).

It’s not that Harrison Jr. will ever truly come out from under his father’s shadow. It’s that his goal now is to cast one just as large. After showing out in the postseason in 2021, his opportunity on the national stage of the CFP in 2022 could be a chance for him to start to build a similar legacy as early as this weekend.
