Expert Analysis
Christian McAlvain | Prep Redzone Scout
Harris is one of the top players in the state regardless of class where he is able to use his play making ability to impact the game in a multitude of ways. Harris was able to run, catch and tackle his way to POY honors this season. One of the top running backs in the state of Idaho, Harris uses his toughness to rip of big runs where he uses his lower body strength to maintain elite balance and forward lean. He is able to run through defenders but what separates him from many of the other backs in the state is his patience where he is able to setup runs and explode through to the next level of the defense.

Harris is a bit undersized, but is a very well built, tough, physical ball carrier that is tough to bring down in the open field. On tape, he shows contact balance, the ability to run through arm and ankle tackles and cutback abilities in the open field, forcing linebackers to over-pursue and take poor angles. Harris also shows pass catching abilities in the flats, and gets upfield quickly while able to stick his toe in the ground and gain the tough yards in space. He is a next level caliber back at the D-III+ level, and can instantly make a college roster better. Look for Harris to continue on having a successful senior season and potentially gathering D-III offers this Winter.

Harris shows up all over the field as a two way player for the Diggers but where he really shines in of the defensive side of the ball. His ability at linebacker is up there with some of the tops in the state. His ability to find the football is uncanny. He always seems to be in the right place at the right time and then he finished with a violent streak. Really runs his feet on contact which means he rarely misses tackles, he good sideline to sideline speed and slips defenders easily. His ability to understand blocking schemes may stem from his time at running back but he diagnoses plays quickly and fills. He is going to have a big year as a senior and it would be a shock to see him lead the state in tackles next season.
