“Just taking it one day at a time right now, and see how the rest of this year plays out,” he said.

Harrison finished the 2023 season with 67 catches for 1,211 yards with 14 touchdowns, and one on the ground as well. His is a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, which will be given out in early December.

But despite the accolades, he’s remaining quiet on whatever decision he’ll make, or has made, about his NFL and Ohio State future.

“Just sticking with one another, getting better during bowl prep,” Harrison said, when asked what he’s looking forward to for the remainder of the season. “I always look forward to bowl practices, they’re always super exciting. Kind of gets the spring ball vibe again, and you’re not really game-planning for a team just yet, but I definitely look forward to going out there and competing against our defense, who’s been great all year.”
