Jett Harrison’s New Balance NIL Deal Gives Ohio State Fans Another Name to Know
Updated: 2 days ago
Some family connections come with a group chat. This one also comes with New Balance.
Eleven Warriors reported on August 5, 2026, that St. Joseph’s Prep receiver and Ohio State commit Jett Harrison had signed a New Balance partnership. The report noted that his older brother, Marvin Harrison Jr., is also a New Balance athlete.
The interesting part for high school families is the timing: brand partnerships can begin before an athlete reaches college, subject to the rules that apply to that athlete.
This article revisits the reported August signing. It does not claim a new October contract, a guaranteed future college roster spot, or a publicly confirmed dollar amount.
Our takeaway is to look beyond the logo: does the relationship fit the athlete, and what work does it involve? A familiar name gets a reader in the door. Clear facts make the story useful.
Ohio fans can follow the development without turning every endorsement into a guessing contest about somebody’s bank account.
