Harris

Harris (6’7"/330) is a long, space-eating interior defender whose game is built on size, leverage flashes, and steady year-over-year production growth, culminating in a 73.3 overall grade and 77.5 run defense grade in 2025. Harris logged 693 snaps with 24 total pressures (18 hurries, three sacks), showing incremental pass-rush development while primarily functioning as a gap-controlling interior presence. He uses his length effectively to clog passing lanes (two PBUs in 2025) and can generate knockback when he keeps his pads down, flashing the ability to displace centers and anchor against double teams. However, Harris’ high-hipped build and inconsistent pad level limit his ability to consistently win leverage, with stiffness in his lower half showing up when trying to redirect or counter reach blocks. His production profile remains modest for the snap volume, and his pass-rush plan can stall out once initial momentum is stopped, leading to more pressures than finishes. Harris projects as a developmental nose/1-tech whose size, length and improving consistency give him a path to early-down rotational value.

Standing 6-foot-8 and 335 pounds, Harris is a mountain of a human who somehow even has some room to pack on functional weight thanks to his elongated frame. The massive DT had narrowed down his list of potential schools, all of which are in the SEC, to Alabama, Tennessee, LSU, Georgia, Ole Miss and Mississippi State. The Madison, MS native is rated as the 16th defensive lineman and 105th player in the nation and carries a 93 player rating according to 247Sports. Harris should be an instant contributor for HC Lane Kiffin’s rebuilding defense that was among the softest in the nation last year statistically.

Harris is literally one of the biggest recruits in the class at 6-foot-6, 338-pounds. The massive DT has finally narrowed down his list of potential schools, all of which are in the SEC. Harris’ six potential schools are as follows, in no particular order: Alabama, Tennessee, LSU, Georgia, Ole Miss and Mississippi State. Rivals national recruiting director Adam Gorney believes Mississippi State is in the early lead, but Harris has not yet committed anywhere and there does not yet appear to be a commitment date on the schedule.
