Height & Weight
6-foot-2, 237 pounds
Projected Position at Alabama
Will Linebacker (Inside)
Superior Athleticism
To think that Harris played at over 225 pounds in high school is incredible when you watch his film. He returned numerous kickoffs for touchdowns and displayed great speed and athleticism throughout his prep career. Harris sees the field extremely well and has great peripheral vision.
Big Hitter
Combine Harris' speed and size with the fact that he loves contact, you have a prospect that can clearly bring the boom. During Harris' high school career, he played a lot of corner and along with delivering big hits, he's also shown on film that he is a very good tackler in open space.
Physicality
There is no position on the field that requires a player to be more physical than at inside linebacker. You have to crave the contact and be a heat-seeking missile. Harris has those attributes.
Playmaker
Harris brings to Alabama a great ability to simply make the big play. Talk about someone who shines when the lights turn bright, Harris projects as that guy. The inside linebacker position requires a player that can change the momentum with a big hit, an interception, a quarterback sack, and Harris will provide that dynamic once on campus.
Final Comments
Harris has some of the most entertaining highlights you'll see. He's got enough athleticism to play receiver or corner, but he's built to create collisions across the middle of the field. While Alabama has some very promising returners at the inside linebacker position, Harris' ability to create plays should allow him to climb Pete Golding's the depth chart sooner than later.
