Georgia trending to add 4-star CB Daniel Harris back to its class

Miami (Fla.) Gulliver Prep four-star cornerback Daniel Harris reopened his recruitment earlier this week after committing to Georgia back in July. Penn State, Ohio State and Michigan have been among the teams look to flip him, and after months of pursuit, he chose to leave the Bulldogs’ class.

But that might not be the end to his story in Athens. According to On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons, Georgia is very much still a contender to land him for a second time, and Simmons considers them the trending school at the moment.

“A school like Georgia will get recruited against about how good their roster is and what their depth is at a kid’s position,” Simmons said Thursday during On3’s Inside Scoop recruiting show. “Obviously he’s well aware of what Georgia has, who they’re recruiting, who is in this class. They’ve been pretty transparent about that, and I think he sees it on their roster.

… I think that got into Harris’ head a little bit to examine opportunities, whether it’s Penn State, Michigan State, Michigan, Ohio State has been in there. Very rarely do you see a kid commit to the same school twice, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Harris gets back in this Georgia class. … I think Penn State is probably their biggest competition, but I do like — as crazy as it sounds — Georgia as the school to get Harris back in the end.”

Harris is the No. 155 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

On3, however, is much higher on him than other recruiting services, per the Industry Comparison. In the most recent On300 rankings, Harris was tabbed as the country’s No. 43 prospect and No. 6 cornerback.
