Ohio State football: LeBron James drops 'absolute' praise on Marvin Harrison Jr.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James may have a reason to cheer for all of USC basketball next season after his son Bronny James elected to play for the Trojans. When it comes to football, however, his heart remains with Marvin Harrison Jr. and Ohio State football.

That much is clear after James showed on social media how hyped he is for the Buckeyes, particularly for Harrison whom he believes is the best wideout in college football today.

On his Instagram Story, the Lakers forward shared a post from Overtime asking if Harrison is the “best receiver in college football?” He then captioned his post with his definitive answer, saying that the Buckeyes star is “Thee absolute best!!!!!!!!”

“Just tremendous. When it comes to, first off, his talent, the size, the way he's built, speed. Very, very unique. But then when you combine that with his discipline and his skill, it's just very different than some of the other guys who I've been around,” Day shared.

Don't be surprised to see LeBron talk about Harrison plenty of times in the upcoming college football season. Sure enough, there will be plenty of social media posts from the Lakers superstar.
