While Marvin Harrison Jr. hype continues to skyrocket this offseason, the seeds are being sown for another sneakily sensational season from Emeka Egbuka.
First, it was the soon-debunked rumors that the superstar wideout might transfer to USC. Then despite not being draft-eligible until 2024, Harrison generated almost as much buzz at Ohio State pro day as any of the Buckeyes’ draft prospects just by catching uncontested passes during
But that shouldn’t impact his production in 2023. If anything, Ohio State’s unresolved quarterback situation could be the biggest limiting factor on the seasons ahead for Harrison and Egbuka, but the pair of elite pass-catchers might just be so talented that it won’t matter. And while the former outshined the latter in 2022, don’t lose sight of the fact that Egbuka had an all-time top-five season for an Ohio State wideout by multiple metrics.
There’s no question who the top dog is in Brian Hartline’s wide receiver room, but Egbuka isn’t far behind. And the emphasis opposing defenses will have to place on slowing down Harrison should only aid the Steilacoom, Washington product in turning in a second straight stellar season in scarlet and gray.
Already a finalist for the Paul Hornung Award in just his second season, Egbuka’s versatility could be put to the test again in 2023. A playmaker on the inside, outside, in the run game and on punt returns, Egbuka’s ability to work in the slot was crucial in the wake of Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s hamstring injury a year ago. This spring, though, Ohio State experimented with Harrison in the slot, and the results were impressive.
