This Week in Twitter is a look at some of the week’s best and most entertaining tweets from Buckeyeland and beyond.

It was quite the week for Marvin Harrison Jr. Ohio State’s standout receiver became the first Buckeye to win the Biletnikoff Award – which is awarded to the best receiver in college football – since Terry Glenn on Friday. 

Harrison won the award by just one vote, tied for the slimmest margin of victory for a Biletnikoff winner.

Did we mention that Harrison was also named an All-American by CBS Sports and Walter Camp?

Although winning the Biletnikoff Award and garnering All-American recognition is fine and dandy, Harrison’s sights are set on something bigger. He enjoyed the bright lights of New York City this weekend as a Heisman Trophy Finalist, with the ceremony set for Saturday at 8 p.m. on ESPN.

For Ohio State head coach Ryan Day, Harrison is just another addition to a list of Heisman Trophy finalists produced under his stead.

In other, less exciting news, The NCAA winter transfer window opened on Monday, and Ohio State saw 13 entries into the portal, including starting quarterback Kyle McCord, starting wide receiver Julian Fleming and running back Chip Trayanum.

In the NFL, vintage Ezekiel Elliott made an appearance during the New England Patriots’ 21-18 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football.

During the week, former Buckeyes Cam Heyward and Terry McLaurin earned nominations for the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, which is presented to the player who shows a commitment to improving their community through charitable actions.

On the hardwood, the Ohio State men’s basketball team continued their early season groove with a pair of wins over Minnesota and Miami (Ohio) during the week, but Zed Key's new look stole the show— drawing some comparisons to other notable fashions within the sport.

Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann made a fashion statement of his own after the Buckeyes' win over the Golden Gophers on Sunday. 

And finally, the Ohio State athletic community will be cheering on the hometown Columbus Crew, as they seek their third MLS Cup in club history on Saturday against Los Angeles FC at Lower.com Field in Columbus.
