Jan. 13, 2017 (Cleveland.com) -- Jaylen Harris' dream could help awaken Ohio State's slumbering pass game. Harris, a 6-foot-5 receiver from Cleveland Heights, announced Friday in a video on cleveland.com that he has committed to the Buckeyes' football program.
"It's always been my dream school," Harris said. "They're one of the top schools in the country, so you can't go wrong."
Harris is ranked as the sixth-best football player in Ohio for the 2017 recruiting class by 247Sports.com, which rates him four stars of five. Scout.com and Rivals gave similar grades to Harris, a cleveland.com all-star and Associated Press All-Ohio pick.
Those accolades followed a senior season at Cleveland Heights in which 53 passes for 820 yards and eight touchdowns. Gaudy numbers? No, but Harris' high school coach thinks his production can drastically improve in Columbus.
"In high school, he was double and triple teamed almost every play," Mac Stephens said. "I don't think we've seen the real Jaylen Harris yet. I'm excited about the prospects of seeing him at the next level."
