There wasn\u2019t a finer high school football team in the country this past fall than Baltimore (Md.) St. Frances<\/a><\/strong>. The powerhouse program plays elite competition and takes on all comers.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the best player they played against this fall was Rivals\u2019 newly-minted No. 1 player in the country in the 2028 cycle in Philadelphia (Pa.) St. Joseph\u2019s Prep School<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s Jett Harrison<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-1, 175-pound Harrison found the end zone four times against St. Frances in what ended up being a 34-26 loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is [effing] unbelievable,\u201d St. Frances head coach Messay Hailemariam said. \u201c(Alabama five-star safety signee) Jireh Edwards<\/a><\/strong> said he played against some of the best and that Jett Harrison is going to be one of the best players to touch a high school football field.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harrison is the son of NFL Hall of Famer and Super Bowl champion Marvin Harrison and the younger brother of former Ohio State standout and Biletnikoff Award Winner (given to the best wide receiver in college football) Marvin Harrison Jr.<\/a><\/strong>, who has obviously gone on to be a first-round selection by the Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is completely the real deal,\u201d Hailemariam continued. \u201cHe runs routes really well. He will block. He will do what it takes to be in position. He\u2019ll be a great decoy. Our secondary was like that this past year and he literally made incredible catches in key situations. We know that ball was going to him and he still overcame it and we had a kid going to Auburn, Bama, a kid going to Ohio State and a kid currently committed to Texas A&M.\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see where the 6-foot-1, 175-pound Harrison lands. Programs like Ohio State, Oregon, Miami, Penn State and Texas are already lining up. He was in Eugene in March for what was perhaps his first college visit. He\u2019ll be at Ohio State this weekend and Miami the week after that.<\/p>\n

Harrison tops the Rivals300 that has several other receivers tabbed as elite players including fellow five-star Brysen Wright<\/a><\/strong> and Braylon Clark<\/a><\/strong> who checks in as the No. 6 player nationally.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Jett Harrison\u2019s combination of ball skills and route-running ability is elite at this stage,\u201d Rivals Director of Scouting Charles Power said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe really comes down with ridiculous catches at a high rate. He looks to have a massive catch radius along with the ability to create constant separation with advance route running. His game really took off as a sophomore, highlighted by a four-touchdown performance against national power St. Frances. Everyone is familiar with his Hall of Fame father and top-five pick older brother. While there is a ways to go, Jett is more advanced in his process than his brother at the same stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Internally with the family, it\u2019s just ingrained to be the best version of yourself.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is unbelievable,\u201d the elder Harrison said of the fresh Rivals ranking.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first and foremost thing is the competitive nature. Competitor is an understatement. The will to win. Obviously myself or his older brother, he\u2019s been around this will to win and losing is not an option. That\u2019s what makes him who he is today. Losing is not an option.\u201d<\/p>\n

The younger Harrison has always played up. When he was seven years old he played against eight-year-olds. As an eight-year-old it was taking the field against nines and 10s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s what\u2019s instilled with him,\u201d his father said. \u201cIf you have an older brother and a dad that\u2019s going to push you, he was never going to shy away from hard work. I think with Jett it\u2019s \u2018What next! What\u2019s next, I\u2019m ready for it!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

College sources are raving about Harrison as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything,\u201d a prominent assistant coach stated. \u201cHe\u2019s been playing varsity since the eighth grade. He\u2019s a freak athlete, hard worker. I think he\u2019s the best player in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

We at Rivals obviously do too.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a blessing,\u201d the younger Harrison told Rivals of his new ranking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There wasn\u2019t a finer high school football team in the country this past fall than Baltimore (Md.)
