McCord had been in a position battle with Devin Brown this offseason to determine which Buckeye QB would replace C.J. Stroud.
Harrison will surely be McCord's favorite target in college, just as he was in high school. Last season as a sophomore, Harrison caught 77 passes for 1,263 yards and 14 touchdowns on his way to Big Ten Wide Receiver of the Year honors.
During spring practice, Harrison said he believed McCord has what it takes to start for Ohio State."I think, obviously, the arm talent is still there," he said about McCord."It was always there. Just more so the mental aspect of the game. He spent a lot of time watching film and just kind of anticipating throws. That's probably where he's grown the most."
Harrison went on:"I think he can make every throw, no matter where I'm at on the field. I could be on the opposite side [of the field], he could be on the far hash, he can still get the ball there. Whether I'm in the boundary, he can throw the deep ball, intermediate. His timing is very precise. So that's probably the best thing I like about him."Ohio State opens the 2023 college football season ranked No. 3 in an Associated Press poll.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the Buckeyes are favored by 30 points over the Hoosiers, according to Caesars Sportsbook. Ohio State's next two games will be at home against unranked opponents. The first three weeks of the season all lead up to a Week 4 matchup against No. 13 Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana."Now it's time to go play in games, though, and we certainly have seen enough in practice to believe that both guys can perform in a game," he said.
