On3 DB / A.J. Harris

As a College Recruit

Polished, developed defensive back with positional versatility and a physical mentality. Has good stature and size, checking in at 6-foot-0.5 and around 190 pounds with a 31-inch arm prior to his senior season. Very physically developed. A smooth mover and shows technical refinement to his game. Coordinated and looks to have good ball skills for the position. Extremely physical and strong as a tackler and run defender. Embraces contact and plays with an edge. Was a top performer at The Opening Finals prior to his junior season, showing anticipation and ball skills in picking off a number of passes while lined up as a safety. Played subpar competition at a small private school prior to transferring to a powerhouse public school as a senior. Turned in a strong senior season at Phenix City Central with 52 tackles and three interceptions. A high-floor prospect. Has not shown high-end long speed to this point, but runs fairly well. Could also play safety long-term, despite being considered as a cornerback prospect to this juncture.

A.J. Harris' technical skill, physicality, developed build and ability to cover from multiple spots in the secondary remind us of Kendall Fuller at the same stage.
