Colts legend Marvin Harrison sat in the stands and watched his youngest son torch the nation’s No. 4 College team for four touchdowns in four very different flavors. A long slant-and-run that left defenders in the dust. A scramble-drill red zone route. An intermediate strike with precision timing. And then, the pièce de résistance—a soaring Moss catch over two defenders that had the whole crowd whispering ‘wow’. Each catch makes it hard to believe he’s only beginning his sophomore season.
On Saturday night, Jett Harrison, a 6-foot-1, 175-pound sophomore wideout at Philadelphia powerhouse St. Joseph’s Prep, and younger brother of Marvin Harrison Jr, proved he’s more than just a “next up.” Despite his team’s 34-26 loss to St. Frances Academy, a squad stacked with blue-chip recruits, Jett’s fingerprints were all over the game. His four scores came against a defense featuring future SEC stars like five-star Alabama commit Jireh Edwards, and even in defeat, his play was so dazzled the crowd.
With Marvin Harrison watching from the stands, Jett’s night started with a bang, the kind of play that gets social media humming. Just four minutes into the game, he caught a quick slant from QB Charlie Foulke, shed two would-be tacklers like they were warm-up dummies, and sprinted 76 yards to the house, knotting the score at 7-7. The kid didn’t even look like he hit full stride. Right before halftime, with the Hawks desperate to cut into a two-score deficit, Jett slipped into open space in the back of the end zone. Foulke, rolling out and improvising, found him for a clutch score that made it 21-14 and sent his sideline into halftime with a lifeline.

Q3 brought more fireworks. Facing a suffocating St. Frances defense, Jett Harrison worked the middle of the field and reeled in an 11-yard dart from Foulke. It wasn’t as flashy as his first two, but it kept the Hawks within striking distance at 34-20 and showed he could work underneath just as effectively as he could break open a game. Against a secondary that had already picked off two passes, including Edwards making his presence known, it was a statement catch.
Last touchdown? That was a jaw-dropper. On fourth down, Jett soared between two defenders, high-pointed the ball, and missed both of them before turning upfield and sprinting 47 yards untouched. Suddenly, the Hawks had cut the deficit to just 34-26. And he still wasn’t finished. Later in the fourth, with St. Joseph’s driving for a potential game-tying score, Jett hauled in a one-handed grab across midfield while taking a bone-rattling hit. The drive fell short, and the Hawks ran out of time, but by then the point had already been made: Jett Harrison is the real deal.

Even big brother Marvin Harrison Jr. is buying stock early. Speaking to Sports Illustrated, he didn’t hold back his praise for Jett: “Jett is definitely more talented than I ever was at that age. He started early with routes with my dad. I’m super excited to see how he comes along.

Is Jett Harrison the next big thing in football, or just living in his family's shadow?
Have an interesting take?
“It’s gonna be very scary to see how he progresses.” Saturday night’s performance felt like proof of that prophecy. Four touchdowns against a nationally ranked powerhouse is no fluke. Rivals already has him pegged as the No. 6 overall sophomore in the country and the No. 2 wideout in the Class of 2028.
And beyond just one highlight reel game, Jett’s trajectory is already soaring—he’s a four-star recruit with offers rolling in, including his first from the most elite one currently, who he’s been forged for by his brother and dad, the Ohio State Buckeyes. Scary hours are here, and he’s only a sophomore.
