Marvin Harrison Jr. receives high praise from former coaches
Before Marvin made his way to the NFL, he joined St. Joseph’s Preparatory School in 2018, where he caught the eye of his former WR coach, Ryne Morrison. Having finished with 20 catches for 254 yards and 5 TDs against LaSalle (Prep’s biggest rival), Morrison noted, “Knew how talented he was. We coached against him the year before. Obviously he was only a freshman, but he played a pretty big role for those guys, and they gave us a little bit of a scare when he was a freshman. So I knew, obviously, how tremendously talented he was, the pedigree he had.”
Even his Prep head coach, Tim Roken, recognized the expectations surrounding him: “I think he knew the expectations that people set for him on the outside, because of who his father was, but he wanted to set them higher. He wanted to be the best that he can be himself, and the best ever. That’s always been his focus.” As Harrison navigates his rookie season in the NFL, the question looms: can he meet the high expectations placed upon him? With six weeks of action already showcasing his explosive potential, we may soon have the answer.
