2024 NFL Draft: Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison Jr., No. 1 ranked prospect, declares after prolific career
Ohio State star receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has declared for the 2024 NFL Draft after a prolific career with the Buckeyes, the last two years of which he led the team. Harrison is considered the No. 1 overall player in the 2024 CBS Sports NFL Draft Prospect Rankings after becoming the first player in Ohio State history with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.
Harrison played sparingly as a freshman in 2021 after ranking as a four-star prospect, but his breakout performance in a Rose Bowl win over Utah that season foreshadowed big things to come. The son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison led the Buckeyes in receiving each of the past two seasons and won the 2023 Biletnikoff Award given to college football’s top receiver.
“To Buckeye Nation, the love I received from you all in the Shoe and on the road will be moments I cherish forever, and I hope I left lasting memories for you on the field,” Harrison wrote. “I appreiate the support these past three years. Buckeye for life.”
In a long line of elite receivers to come from Ohio State under coach Ryan Day and offensive coordinator Brian Hartline, Harrison stacked up with the best, earning Heisman Trophy finalist honors this season while tying the school record for most 100-yard receiving games in a career with 14. He ends his college career with 155 receptions for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns.
Harrison’s draft stock
As the top-ranked prospect in the draft class, according to CBS Sports, Harrison’s decision is no surprise. Whether or not Harrison actually ends up going No. 1 overall is another matter. Harrison is considered a consensus top-five pick by our CBS Sports draft experts. Ryan Wilson has him going No. 2 after a trade to the Chicago Bears. Josh Edwards has Harrison going No. 3 to the New England Patriots, while Chris Trapasso slots Harrison at No. 4, teaming up with Kyler Murray on the Arizona Cardinals.
At 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, Harrison has both excellent size and great speed to go with a proven set of hands and an elite pedigree. His father made eight Pro Bowls and caught 128 touchdown passes during a 13-year career spent entirely with the Indianapolis Colts. Given his physical tools and dominance at the college level, the younger Harrison is expected to become an elite pro in his own right.
Impact on School
With Harrison’s announcement, Ohio State will be without two of its top three wide receivers for next season after Julian Fleming entered the transfer portal following the regular season. But the Buckeyes knew this was likely coming and have continued to recruit exceedingly well at the position. Ohio State signed three of the top 10 receivers in the 2023 recruiting class and two of the top 10 receivers in the 2024 class. Thus, the Buckeyes should still boast a supremely talented receiving corps next season
Additionally, since Emeka Egbuka is returning for his fourth season, meaning the Buckeyes will have a proven star at the position entering 2024. Egbuka has made 118 career grabs for 1,794 yards and 14 touchdowns and is fully capable of serving as a No. 1 target.

Trumbull County Commissioners discuss property tax reduction
WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) — Trumbull County Commissioners at Tuesday’s weekly workshop meeting discussed the possibility of enacting an additional 2.5% reduction in property taxes for people occupying homes.
Although no decision was made, all the commissioners agreed it was a good idea.
The owner occupancy deduction was one option enacted last year by the Ohio Legislature to lower property taxes.
The other option was the homestead deduction for homeowners 65 or older or permanently disabled. The owner occupancy deduction is the smaller of the two.
The commissioners indicated they hope to vote before July 1.
The deduction would save homeowners $25 for every $1,000 in property taxes but will mean less money for the townships, school and Trumbull County.

Mass shooting at Ohio festival that wounded 12 stemmed from dispute between rival groups, police say
A mass shooting that left 12 people wounded on Saturday afternoon at a summer festival in Ohio stemmed from “a dispute involving two rival groups,” according to police.
Gunfire rang out just after 5:30 p.m. near the Old West End Festival in Toledo from two gunmen, one from each group, police said. A dozen people were hurt, with the oldest victim being 61 and the youngest 14, police Lt. Dan Gerken said Saturday, noting most were in their early 20s.
Toledo Police Chief Michael Troendle said Tuesday that a dispute between rival groups led to “a foot chase,” a physical altercation and one person producing a firearm and shooting before someone from the rival group did the same and returned fire.
“While investigators believe some of the victims are intentionally targeted, the majority of those injured appear to have been innocent bystanders caught up in this senseless act of violence,” Troendle said during a news briefing.
Police estimate that three of the victims were involved in the incident, while nine were caught in the crossfire. All of the victims are expected to survive, with nine already having been released from the hospital, Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz said at the Tuesday briefing.
Toledo Fire & Rescue Chief Allison Armstrong said bystanders helped in the aftermath of the shooting by administering tourniquets to the injuries of the victims and providing them with comfort.
“While that act showed us the worst of humanity, what followed in the moments after showed us the very best,” Armstrong said.
Detectives have continued conducting interviews since the incident and “identified several persons of interest,” Troendle said. The gunmen police believe to be responsible are between the ages of 18 and 24, and still at large, he said.
Before the shooting, a deputy sheriff at the festival was about to check a bag when someone grabbed it and ran off with it, Troendle said, adding that police are “still trying to piece all that together.” It is not clear who the bag belonged to, or if the firearm was used in the shooting.
Since the shooting, Troendle said that investigators have recovered and are examining two firearms that are believed to be connected to the shooting.
“While there’s still work to be done, I can tell you that investigators continue to make progress,” Troendle said.
Kapszukiewicz said moving forward, young people need to be held accountable for their actions.
“The reality is they did something that deserves punishment and accountability, and when our police find them and arrest them, they will be held accountable,” he said about the gunmen.
Kapszukiewicz also said he thinks the city should finish hosting the Old West End Festival, which was halted a day early after Saturday’s shooting. He said late summer or early September would be a good time to “put a bow on that weekend.”
Changes, including strengthened curfews and more opportunities to check bags, are being discussed for events like the Old West End Festival, Kapszukiewicz said.
“Our heart is broken, and it will take time to work through what happened, and to seek to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” he said.
