Marvin Harrison Jr. Reacts to Being Dubbed ‘Maserati Marv’ by Gus Johnson
While fans on social media had mixed reactions to the new nickname bestowed upon Marvin Harrison Jr. by Gus Johnson during Fox Sports telecast on Saturday, the Ohio State wideout thought it was “great.”
The star wideout, who feels he gets a nickname nearly “every week,” was in favor of Johnson's new entry of ”Maserati Marv."
"It’s great. Who came up that one?" Harrison asked reporters.
He wasn't shocked to hear it came from Johnson, one of the best sports announcers in the business.
"Of course, of course. [Johnson] is awesome," added Harrison.
The son of Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Marvin Harrison put on a performance worthy of the comparison to the Italian luxury sports car brand on Saturday.
In the win over No. 7 Penn State, the junior standout had his best game of the season, hauling in 11 receptions for 162 yards and a touchdown. Harrison, who is among the contenders for the 2023 Heisman Trophy, has now amassed 119 receptions for 2,006 yards and 22 touchdowns in just three seasons with the Buckeyes.
Ohio State (7-0) who sits atop the Big Ten East with Michigan, will return to action next Saturday when they head to Camp Randall Stadium to take on Wisconsin.
