Harrison is regarded as one of Ohio State’s top prospects for the 2023 NFL draft after a strong senior season in which he has played the best football of his Buckeye career, recording 30 total tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, four pass breakups, three forced fumbles and an interception as one of the Buckeyes’ top defensive ends.
While Harrison could have returned to Ohio State for a fifth year in 2023 after the NCAA granted him an additional year of eligibility, he has indicated all along that he planned to enter the NFL draft after his true senior season this year.
Harrison becomes the second Buckeye to accept an invitation to a pre-draft all-star game this year, joining fellow defensive lineman Taron Vincent, who will play in the East-West Shrine Bowl.
