This Week in Twitter is a look at some of the week's best and most entertaining tweets from Buckeyeland and beyond.
Normally there's a very strict "no wearing blue" rule for Ohio State players. But given that Marvin Harrison Jr. was representing the Buckeyes at Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis at a stadium his father dominated in for years, he can be forgiven if he wanted to wear a blue tie to pay homage to the Colts and his father's legacy.

It should come as no surprise to anyone, but Harrison Jr. earned some Big Ten preseason honors while he was in Indianapolis.

Ohio State's Friday recruiting SummerFest event was a major success, as it even resulted in the Buckeyes landing a major commitment from 2026 wide receiver Chris Henry Jr.

By the way, at SummerFest, Ohio State recruits and coaches participated in a home run derby. Well, guess who won it? That's right, none other than Ryan Day.
Ohio State held a home run derby as part of todays SummerFest. According to 2025 tight end target Luka Gilbert, Ryan Day won with nine home runs.

He played baseball though, so thats not fair, Gilbert said.
Considering he was injured for a good portion of last season, it can be hard to remember just how dominant of a wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is. Well, here's a reminder in case you needed it.

C.J. Stroud started to use his legs to his advantage at the tail end of his college career, and it looks like he's translating that aspect of his game in the NFL.

We all know Justin Fields is a talented quarterback, but perhaps he also doubles as a philosopher. Maybe he double-majored at OSU.

This should surprise no one, but Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is a fan favorite in Washington.

We also have a somber note to pass along as well, as Ohio State offensive lineman Avery Henry has had to medically retire from football after undergoing chemotherapy for Osteosarcoma. Fortunately, Henry announced in May his treatment was successful and he is now cancer free.
Ive been dreading this post for awhile but it has to be done. As many of you have asked can you return to football and the quick and easy response is no. Osteosarcoma/Chemo Takes a lot from you. Medical doctors have told me they wouldnt clear me and Its extremely dangerous.

Mic'd up videos are always fun, so enjoy Ohio State center Felix Okpara being Mic'd up during a summer practice.

If there's any gamers out there, you're probably interested in knowing what several former Ohio State players' ratings are on the new edition of Madden.

While the 2023 football season is almost here, it's never a bad time to remember just how dynamic Ted Ginn Jr. was at Ohio State.

By the way, did we mention it's almost football season? Only Tommy Eichenberg more days until the Buckeyes kick off against Indiana.
