Miami was in the final group<\/a> for the top-ranked player in Rivals’ 2028 class, but Jett Harrison’s family connection to Ohio State proved too strong to overcome.<\/p>\n

Harrison, a five-star wide receiver from St. Joseph’s Prep in Philadelphia, committed to Ohio State on Wednesday. He chose the Buckeyes over Miami, Oregon and USC.<\/p>\n

BREAKING: Five-Star WR Jett Harrison has Committed to Ohio State, he tells me for @Rivals<\/a><\/p>\n

The No. 1 Recruit in the 2028 Rivals300 chose the Buckeyes over Oregon and Miami<\/p>\n

\u2014 Hayes Fawcett (@Hayesfawcett3) July 1, 2026<\/a>Miami loses out as WR Jett Harrison chooses Ohio State<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Harrison is the No. 1 prospect in the Rivals300 and the No. 1 wide receiver in the rankings. He is also No. 4 overall and No. 2 at wide receiver in the Rivals Industry Ranking.<\/p>\n

Harrison is the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison Sr. His older brother, Marvin Harrison Jr., became one of college football’s best receivers at Ohio State, won the Biletnikoff Award and was selected No. 4 overall by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Buckeyes offered Jett a familiar path that Miami and Oregon could not match.<\/p>\n

Harrison visited Columbus in the spring and returned during the summer before making his decision. He becomes Ohio State’s third commitment in the 2028 class, joining top-100 edge rusher Jameer Whyce and running back Elijah Newman-Hall.<\/p>\n

Miami has already started its 2028 class with quarterback Knox Annis and offensive tackle Kweli Fielder. Fielder is currently No. 43 overall and No. 5 among offensive tackles in the Rivals Industry Ranking. Harrison would have been the class’s first wide receiver commitment.<\/p>\n

The recruiting loss will sting for Miami, but the Canes staff really did all they could do. The family ties are so strong between the Harrison’s and Ohio State. It is simply a testament that they were in the race in the first place. The Hurricanes will continue to look elsewhere for WR talent in the 2028 class.<\/p>\n
