Who are Marvin Harrison Jr.’s parents? Meet Ohio State's WR family
Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., the son of a Hall of Fame receiver, has been carrying his legacy well.
The Indianapolis Colts drafted the elder Harrison in the first round in 1996, and he played all 13 seasons of his career there, serving as Peyton Manning's go-to receiver.
The Buckeyes star once said that his mother, Dawne, is very supportive of his decisions, doing so since day one, playing an important role in his journey.
Harrison was born on Aug. 11, 2002, in Philadelphia, which is also where his father was born.
Harrison is the oldest of the Harrisons' two children. Marvin’s younger brother is Jett Harrison. He was born on June 4, 2004. Just like his father and brother, he has a huge interest in football, playing as a receiver at St. Joseph’s Preparatory School.
