College Football Fans Saddened by Marvin Harrison Jr.'s Apparent Cotton Bowl Decision

Ohio State Buckeyes WR Marvin Harrison Jr. was easily one of the best players in college football this season, evidenced by his fourth-place finish in the Heisman Trophy race. He's a certified lock to be a top-five pick in next year's NFL Draft.

Unfortunately, Ohio State couldn't beat Michigan in its regular-season finale, which was the key reason the legendary college football program was left out of the College Football Playoff and instead received an invite to the Cotton Bowl to play Missouri. In such circumstances, top NFL Draft prospects have few incentives to suit up for what's basically a meaningless bowl game.

There was some hope Harrison Jr. would break the norm and play for the Buckeyes this Friday night. However, it doesn't look like that's going to be the case. Harrison Jr. was with the Ohio State football team during practice on Tuesday, but didn't participate at any point. He wasn't in pads, either, which gives a pretty clear indication he won't be playing in the Cotton Bowl.
