Watch: Ohio State's Marvin Harrison Jr. makes ridiculous one-handed catch, still draws pass interference call

By Mike Santa Barbara | Last updated 11/19/22

Marvin Harrison Jr. continued to prove why he's one of the nation's best wideouts on Saturday in the Ohio State Buckeye's 43-30 win over the Maryland Terpins.

On Harrison's first catch of the day, he made a one-handed grab off a back-shoulder pass from QB C.J. Stroud while being interfered with by Maryland cornerback Deonte Banks.

It's no surprise Harrison was able to come down with such a difficult catch, considering he was up against one-on-one coverage. According to PFF, heading into Saturday's contest, Harrison was first among Power 5 schools against single coverage in yards (658), touchdowns (11), first downs (32), and catches of 15-plus yards (18).

Harrison finished with five receptions for 68 yards on Saturday. Through 11 games, the sophomore has recorded 65 receptions for 1,037 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Spectacular receptions are becoming old hat for Harrison, who seems to send jaws dropping to the ground every week. Last week, Harrison arguably made the catch of the year against Indiana. However, Saturday's remarkable grab helped him make Buckeyes' history.

Harrison became only the eighth wideout in Ohio State history to surpass 1,000 yards receiving in a season. He joins Garrett Wilson (2021), Jaxon Smith-Njigba (2021), Parris Campbell (2018), Michael Jenkins (2002), Terry Glenn (1995), David Boston (1998), and Hall of Famer Cris Carter (1986) as the only Buckeyes to reach the feat.
