Marvin Harrison Jr. is one of college football's biggest stars. The wide receiver should be a lock to be a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft, with some mock drafts having him in the top three picks. His stardom has allowed him to be one of eight Ohio State Buckeyes football players to star in a commercial for Chipotle, a Mexican dining chain.
Along with Harrison, running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams, linebackers Tommy Eichenberg and Cody Simon, cornerback Jordan Hancock, defensive end Caden Curry and tight end Joe Royer appeared in the commercial.
Pete Nakos of On3 Sports reported that Ohio State's sponsorship with Chipotle allowed the school's campus, athletic facilities and logos to be shown:
"Because Chipotle is an official sponsor of Ohio State athletics, the company was able to shoot the commercial on campus and feature athletes inside facilities and wearing the institution’s marks. Multiple brands continue to tell On3 that being able to use a school’s intellectual property in NIL activations can make all the difference because athletes are more recognizable in their uniform and college environment.
"Voiced over by Ohio State great Archie Griffin, the video features the eight players eating Chipotle together inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center and wearing their uniforms in the locker room. The ad closes with the message: Real food for the Ohio State Buckeyes."
