Another generation of football royalty is making college decisions, including the son of a recent Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee.

Back in December, High School On SI compiled a list of student-athletes with ties to professional athletes. Updates were provided on June 20 and July 1.

Jett Harrison, St. Joseph’s Prep (PA), 2028 (WR)

Jett Harrison, the son of NFL Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison and the brother of Marvin Harrison Jr., committed to Ohio State on Wednesday, July 1. Harrison Jr. played for the Buckeyes.

Jett Harrison, a five-star wide receiver out of St. Joseph’s Prep (PA), chose Ohio State over Notre Dame, Oregon, Tennessee, USC and other offers. Harrison had 10 touchdown receptions for the Hawks.

The 6-foot-1, 180-pound receiver is the No. 6 overall prospect in the Class of 2028 and one of the nation's top wide receivers. The rising junior can’t sign with the Buckeyes until the end of 2027.

Marvin Harrison, a College and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, played at Roman Catholic High School in Philadelphia before he became an All-American receiver at Syracuse. Harrison went on to have an illustrious career with the Indianapolis Colts, which included the Super Bowl XLI championship victory in the mid-2000s.

Marvin Harrison Jr. was a two-time All-American at Ohio State. He was picked fourth overall by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Tye Kennedy, Mountain View (AZ), 2027 (OL)

Tye Kennedy, the son of former NFL lineman and College Football Hall of Famer Lincoln Kennedy, committed to his father’s alma mater Washington on Wednesday.

Tye Kennedy is a 3-star recruit and a 6-foot-6, 275-pound offensive tackle that chose the Huskies over Arizona State, Boise State, Michigan and a host of Power Four programs.

Lincoln Kennedy was an All-American and All-Pac-10 offensive tackle at Washington and a member of the Huskies’ 1991 national title team. Kennedy was picked ninth overall by the Atlanta Falcons in the 1993 NFL Draft.

A three-time Pro Bowler, Kennedy played for the Falcons and Oakland Raiders from 1993 to 2003. He reached Super Bowl XXXVII with the Raiders in 2002.

Trey Tagliaferri – a four-star prospect and a 6-foot-2, 190-pound quarterback – reopened his recruitment and reportedly had the Sooners high on his radar. Tagliaferri originally committed to the Irish on June 25 but backed out six days later.

Tagliaferri has offers from Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio State, Ole Miss and more than 25 other schools. In his sophomore season for the Crusaders, Tagliaferri threw for 2,238 yards, 30 touchdowns and three interceptions.
