- 0:24Speaker 1: All right, I'm joined by Tody Gurnaman here at the
- 0:26Speaker 1: final one day camp of the summer. It has been
- 0:28Speaker 1: a whirlwind two weeks here at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
- 0:32Speaker 1: It is now over, but man, the last camp of
- 0:35Speaker 1: this the summer get delivered. There were some big star power.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Here, yeah, some good quarterbacks, good running backs, defense, a
- 0:43Speaker 2: really good defensive tackle and Glenville was here. And you
- 0:48Speaker 2: had quarterbacks Chris Christopher Vargas from yesterday was back today yep.
- 0:54Speaker 2: Kind of just watching and throwing a little bit, and
- 0:57Speaker 2: of course Brady Edmonds was back throwing as well.
- 0:59Speaker 3: So a lot to watch throughout the day.
- 1:02Speaker 1: And one of the biggest names was the number one
- 1:06Speaker 1: wide receiver maybe number one player overall in the closet
- 1:09Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. This is a name that Ohio State
- 1:12Speaker 1: fans will be familiar with. Jet Harrison. He is someone
- 1:15Speaker 1: that we were talking about in this building, what three
- 1:17Speaker 1: years ago when his older brother, Marvin Jr.
- 1:20Speaker 3: Was Marvin Harrison Junior.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Jets, little Jet, he was in what like
- 1:25Speaker 1: seventh grade at that point something like that. He is
- 1:28Speaker 1: now grown and turned into a pretty darn good wide
- 1:32Speaker 1: receiver prospect. And got a chance to watch him work
- 1:34Speaker 1: out a little bit.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Yeah, he already looks like a college wide receiver. He's
- 1:37Speaker 2: put together. He is quick as fast as all that.
- 1:43Speaker 2: You watch him tracking the ball like. He didn't do
- 1:45Speaker 2: a bunch today. No, he was just doing some stuff
- 1:47Speaker 2: early on. They don't need to see anything else from him. Yeah,
- 1:50Speaker 2: you know, he's got his off for all of that.
- 1:52Speaker 2: But clearly there's some speculation right now that Ohio States
- 1:56Speaker 2: do you know, doing very well with him.
- 1:58Speaker 3: That's been the thought all along.
- 2:00Speaker 2: He seems to be picking up and then the fact
- 2:02Speaker 2: that he's here today, all signs seem to be pointing
- 2:06Speaker 2: up for Ohio State, but just watching him, it's easy
- 2:09Speaker 2: to imagine him doing well in this Ohio State offense.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Well, and brothers are not always exactly the same as
- 2:15Speaker 1: the oldest of three. I can tell you that for sure.
- 2:18Speaker 1: I know you have siblings as well, and you're probably
- 2:20Speaker 1: not all exactly the same. But when you look at
- 2:23Speaker 1: how Marvin Harrison Junior handled his business at Ohio State,
- 2:27Speaker 1: you would assume if Jet Harrison has turned himself into
- 2:29Speaker 1: a pretty good prospect as well, there's probably some commonality there.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Father Marvin Senior obviously knows a little bit of something
- 2:37Speaker 1: about playing the wide receiver position. But also, now you
- 2:40Speaker 1: have a father who has gotten to the NFL Hall
- 2:42Speaker 1: of Fame, you have a brother who has gotten himself
- 2:44Speaker 1: to a Heisman Trophy finalist and a top five NFL
- 2:47Speaker 1: draft pick, So you probably have a pretty decent sense
- 2:50Speaker 1: for what it takes to get to that point. And
- 2:52Speaker 1: if he's gotten to that point, that tells you he's
- 2:54Speaker 1: probably got the same work, ethic and drive to the
- 2:56Speaker 1: other two guys.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it also says a lot about Ohio
- 2:59Speaker 2: State if they can get him to commit and sign.
- 3:01Speaker 2: This is not Brian Hartline. This is not Marvin Harrison,
- 3:04Speaker 2: say go to Ohio State. Yeah, this is Ohio State
- 3:06Speaker 2: having to repackage itself and resell itself to another Harrison.
- 3:11Speaker 2: And yeah, there's there's proof of concept and the overall
- 3:15Speaker 2: picture of Ohio State. But he doesn't have c. J.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Stroud throwing to him. You know, there's different play callers.
- 3:23Speaker 2: So it's it's a little bit of a different Ohio State.
- 3:25Speaker 2: It's a different kind of era in college football. But
- 3:29Speaker 2: so so it's interesting to see that despite all of that,
- 3:34Speaker 2: another Harrison and Ohio State continue to get closer and closer.
- 3:38Speaker 3: And they started out close.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Yeah, and the fact that there's been no distance grown,
- 3:44Speaker 2: I think is important.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Well, I think Marvin Junior had a very good experience
- 3:48Speaker 1: in Ohio State and developed. I mean, you go back,
- 3:50Speaker 1: he was not even the highest rated Ohio State wide
- 3:52Speaker 1: receiver in that class. He might not have even been
- 3:55Speaker 1: a top one hundred player in some service, and he.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Was behind Jayden Vallay. Yeah.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Yeah, and but just from day one, works and works
- 4:01Speaker 1: and worked and works work. One of the guys he
- 4:03Speaker 1: was working with, obviously mcmuradi. He's still here. Ryan A
- 4:06Speaker 1: is still here. So you had. You have some common
- 4:08Speaker 1: threads there, and the core principles of the program haven't changed.
- 4:13Speaker 1: So I think Marvin Harrison Senior was probably reasonably happy
- 4:16Speaker 1: with how things worked out, and the fact that Mark
- 4:19Speaker 1: that Jet Harrison is now here would sort of be
- 4:21Speaker 1: testimony to that. Then no timetable on the decision for him. Obviously,
- 4:26Speaker 1: as you said, there is some scuttle butt that things
- 4:28Speaker 1: are trending in a decent direction for Ohio State right there.
- 4:30Speaker 1: But he's a twenty twenty eight. He's still going into
- 4:33Speaker 1: his junior year of high school, so this could be months,
- 4:36Speaker 1: another year, it could be a while before you get
- 4:39Speaker 1: a decision there. But right now the high state feeling
- 4:41Speaker 1: pretty good. So you have a family tie there, you
- 4:46Speaker 1: have a high school tie. But the next guy I
- 4:47Speaker 1: want to talk to, which is Aiden Heveli. He is
- 4:50Speaker 1: a defensive lineman stopping if you've heard this, a defensive
- 4:53Speaker 1: lineman from East Side Catholic High School in Samamish, Washington,
- 4:59Speaker 1: Tony where. If I heard that particular bio.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Before, that would be JT. T. Moloaw came from that
- 5:05Speaker 2: same school. Former defensive lineman at Ohio State, as you know,
- 5:09Speaker 2: And I didn't get to watch him at all until
- 5:11Speaker 2: like the last twenty minutes, which is the one on ones,
- 5:14Speaker 2: which was and then I didn't move.
- 5:15Speaker 3: I just stayed there the entire time.
- 5:17Speaker 2: We'll have some video up at YouTube dot com slash
- 5:20Speaker 2: at Buckeye Insiders. But six' two said he's three twenty
- 5:24Speaker 2: five right. Now when he gets to, college he wants
- 5:26Speaker 2: to be a solid three hundred and get. Rebuilt but,
- 5:29Speaker 2: boy he is quick and he is, fast and talking
- 5:33Speaker 2: with him and you, know he talks about how he
- 5:36Speaker 2: doesn't use his strength as. Much and because, well let me,
- 5:40Speaker 2: Start Larry johnson could have told, him, like you remind
- 5:43Speaker 2: me Of Ty, hamilton which that's a good coll which
- 5:46Speaker 2: is a very good comp And ty was known for
- 5:48Speaker 2: being really really. Strong and so then he was, asked,
- 5:51Speaker 2: so so.
- 5:51Speaker 3: You use your.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Strength he's, like, well ACTUALLY i use my speed and
- 5:54Speaker 2: quickness AND i could, confirm and, you, guys when when
- 5:57Speaker 2: you eventually watch, it you will confirm as. Well that's
- 6:00Speaker 2: WHY i asked, him you, know, like where do you
- 6:01Speaker 2: get your quickness? From he's, like it's my mom's side
- 6:02Speaker 2: of the, family and there's a lot of you, know
- 6:04Speaker 2: football players on that, side and, boy it's just LIKE
- 6:08Speaker 2: i didn't get the best people of the. Day of
- 6:10Speaker 2: COURSE i did not get. Recorded it was a spin
- 6:12Speaker 2: move that the defensive line is ooing and eyeing the
- 6:16Speaker 2: offensive line is, like you.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Know, yeah and really really.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Impressive then talking to him, Afterwards Ohio state is obviously
- 6:26Speaker 2: well known at the high, school especially if you're you're
- 6:29Speaker 2: an up and coming defensive, lineman you've you've heard About
- 6:32Speaker 2: Ohio state. Along he says he has no issue leaving the,
- 6:35Speaker 2: state leaving the, Region AND i, said, well how does
- 6:39Speaker 2: your family feel about you that you're, Leaving and he's, like,
- 6:41Speaker 2: well they wouldn't like it so, much but they would
- 6:44Speaker 2: they would. Understand he, Said Ohio state will definitely be
- 6:48Speaker 2: in his top. Five he also, SAID i don't know
- 6:50Speaker 2: who's in my top. Five so the fact That Ohio
- 6:52Speaker 2: state And Larry johnson is the driving force there because
- 6:57Speaker 2: he's Known Larry johnson was there last year and got
- 7:02Speaker 2: to know, him and it's Just i'm there's a little
- 7:07Speaker 2: bit of a. Pipeline but, boy talking with other coaches, around,
- 7:11Speaker 2: like he impressed a lot of, people and so that's
- 7:14Speaker 2: gonna be one to watch in twenty twenty.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Eight, yeah and those are two different, guys very different,
- 7:19Speaker 1: positions different connections To Ohio. State but, man you've got
- 7:23Speaker 1: some proof of concept in both of those. Places where
- 7:26Speaker 1: the older brother in one case turns into a top
- 7:28Speaker 1: FIVE nfl draft. Pick the guy who is several years
- 7:31Speaker 1: don't make me, think oh, goodness he was like seven
- 7:34Speaker 1: years ahead in high. SCHOOL i was going to, say
- 7:35Speaker 1: wonder if they knew each. Other, no they did not
- 7:36Speaker 1: know twenty twenty, One oh, goodness we are getting. Old
- 7:41Speaker 1: but you do have that proof of. Concept if you
- 7:43Speaker 1: want to go play For Larry, johnson, sure go play
- 7:46Speaker 1: For Larry. Johnson you're going to win a national. Championship
- 7:49Speaker 1: you're going to be a really HIGH nfl draft. PICK
- 7:52Speaker 1: jt now of course playing for The colts In. Indianapolis so,
- 7:55Speaker 1: yeah that is those are two guys with some, real
- 7:58Speaker 1: real serious proof of. CONCEPT i think you can sort
- 8:01Speaker 1: of lean on one last GUY i wanted to mention.
- 8:03Speaker 1: It we'll probably do a little more on, him BUT
- 8:05Speaker 1: i just wanted to sort of Mention Xander, edwards running
- 8:08Speaker 1: back out of The bowlist school In. Jacksonville he's another
- 8:11Speaker 1: guy where there's a little bit of a. Connection Simeon
- 8:12Speaker 1: calledell the true freshman At Ohio. State it's from the
- 8:15Speaker 1: ball of. School he, said he's talked to Sent meon
- 8:17Speaker 1: and sort of gotten some positive feedback already On simeon's
- 8:20Speaker 1: experience At Ohio. State there's some interesting ties. There his
- 8:24Speaker 1: dad Is Mark, edwards the Former Notre dame fullback WHO.
- 8:28Speaker 3: I met him AND i.
- 8:29Speaker 1: DIDN'T i just hadn't made the connection in my. Head
- 8:31Speaker 1: he'd introduced himself And i'm, like, oh that's a firm hinch,
- 8:33Speaker 1: yet well that's a FORMER nfl. Fullback, yeah so that's
- 8:35Speaker 1: going to be a firm hincha all. Right but his,
- 8:38Speaker 1: grandfather on the other, side is a Lifelong Ohio state,
- 8:42Speaker 1: fan so went to his first game in nineteen fIF
- 8:45Speaker 1: The horseshoe in nineteen fifty. Four SO i, said you,
- 8:47Speaker 1: know are you going.
- 8:48Speaker 3: To be kind of like.
- 8:50Speaker 1: And he, said you, know you're gonna let him make
- 8:52Speaker 1: his own. Decision and he just got offered By georgia
