Farewell Bids: “Thank You Ohio State” – One of the Best Players in School History Says Goodbye to Buckeye Fans
In an emotional farewell, one of Ohio State’s all-time great players, wide receiver Jordan Harris, has announced that he is parting ways with the Buckeyes and will forgo his remaining eligibility to pursue a professional career. The decision has sent shockwaves through the Ohio State football community, as Harris’ legacy as one of the best to ever wear the scarlet and gray will leave an indelible mark on the program.
Harris, who has been a standout for the Buckeyes since his freshman year, made the announcement via a heartfelt social media post, thanking Ohio State fans, coaches, and his teammates for their support during his career. “It’s never easy to say goodbye, especially to a place that has given me so much,” Harris wrote. “I want to thank my coaches, my teammates, and most importantly, the fans. You have all made me who I am today, and I will forever carry the Buckeye spirit with me.”
The decision to leave school early and declare for the NFL Draft was not one Harris made lightly. After an extraordinary season that included over 1,500 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns, Harris’ stock has soared, and many analysts are projecting him to be a top pick in the upcoming draft. Despite the professional opportunity, Harris took time to reflect on his time at Ohio State and the memories he will cherish.
“I’ve spent the last four years here learning, growing, and experiencing something special,” Harris continued in his post. “Ohio State isn’t just a school—it’s a family. From the fans who cheer us on every Saturday to my teammates who have become brothers, this place will always be home to me.”
Harris’ departure leaves a massive hole in Ohio State’s receiving corps, as he has been a key factor in the team’s offensive success over the years. His speed, hands, and ability to make game-changing plays made him one of the most feared wide receivers in college football. His name will forever be etched in Buckeye history as one of the program’s best playmakers.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day expressed his support for Harris’ decision, praising his impact both on and off the field. “Jordan has been an incredible player and a great leader for our program,” Day said. “His work ethic and dedication have set a standard for future Buckeyes. While we will miss him on the field, we are excited to see what’s next for him.”
As Harris moves on to the next chapter of his career, Ohio State fans are left to reflect on the unforgettable moments he provided during his time in Columbus. His decision to leave for the NFL is bittersweet, but his legacy will live on in Buckeye lore. Thank you, Jordan Harris. You will always be a Buckeye.
