Scarlet Sunrise: Marvin Harrison Jr. added to major award watch list

Good morning, Ohio State fans, and welcome to the Scarlet Sunrise. Football will always be our focus, but every day we’ll cover news, notes and analysis from across Buckeyes sports. Join us each morning to get caught up on everything you missed in the world of Buckeyes football, recruiting, basketball and more in Scarlet Sunrise.

Marvin Harrison Jr. added to Biletnikoff Award watch list

Marvin Harrison Jr. has been a dynamic weapon all season so far for Ohio State.

The rest of the country is paying attention to just how good Harrison is. The sophomore wide receiver was added to the Biletnikoff Award watch list earlier this week, becoming the third Buckeyes pass catcher to be on the list. He joins Emeka Egbuka and preseason favorite Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Harrison has 31 catches for 536 yards and a team-leading nine touchdown catches in six games this season. He has caught three touchdowns in two different games this season — and three games overall.

And he is quickly becoming a weapon known across the country.

Full coverage of Buckeyes off week

The Buckeyes are rolling on offense and defense right now. Pressing pause on that momentum could be dangerous. But it’s also a great week for this football team to be well-rested and recovered halfway through the schedule — ahead of a national championship push.

To attain those lofty goals, the Buckeyes must rest and recover — and get healthier — during the next week of preparation for the second half of the season. But there are still certain areas Ohio State needs to be better at, especially in the back end of the defense and, arguably, on special teams.

Spencer Holbrook and Tim May were back outside the Horseshoe on Thursday morning, breaking down how the Buckeyes are turning their focus to Iowa after the off week in the latest Practice Report.

The Lettermen Row crew is back for a full report on what it learned.

ICYMI: Tim May Podcast

Ohio State beat Michigan State on the road to earn a big conference win behind a massive performance from star quarterback C.J. Stroud, who threw for a school record-tying six touchdown passes.

So Tim May and the Tim May Podcast had to make sure to break down so many angles of the win! Tim is back to recap everything that happened in Spartan Stadium over the weekend, and he has a special guest to break down an oddly concerning corner of the Buckeyes roster right now.

Tim welcomes former Ohio State defensive back Marlon Kerner to the show to break down how the Ohio State cornerbacks can rebound after struggling in the first six weeks of the season. Cameron Brown and Denzel Burke are struggling, but they certainly have plenty enough talent to correct the mistakes and become one of the strengths of the roster.

You will not want to miss this interview and plenty more news and analysis and in another edition of the Tim May Podcast.
