Marvin Harrison Jr. is earning plenty of preseason recognition throughout the country leading up to the 2023 football season.

The standout Ohio State wide receiver added Big Ten preseason honors to his long accolade sheet on Wednesday when he was named to the league's 10-member preseason list by a panel of reporters at Big Ten Media Days.

Five members from each of the Big Ten's East and West Divisions compromised the poll. Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa, Penn State offensive lineman Olumuyiwa Fashanu and Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy and running back Blake Corum and Harrison received honors from the East Division, while Illinois defensive lineman Jer’Zhan Newton, Iowa defensive back Cooper DeJean, Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen and Minnesota tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford and defensive back Tyler Nubin represented the West Division.

Last season, Harrison Jr. was a consensus All-American after he recorded 77 catches, 1,263 yards and 14 touchdowns. He was selected as the preseason Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year according to a preseason poll conducted by Cleveland.com on Tuesday.
