t
• Personally like him as an interior defender more than an interior offensive lineman
• Looks to finish his blocks
• Runs well in space; quick to get to point of attack when pulling
• When pulling will take end man’s bait and chase him rather than sealing
• Needs to win with his head more often
• Has upper body strength to bury people and sling them to the ground
• Capable of getting low when at guard, consistently drives feet to move defenders
• Strong and sturdy to pick up big, blitzing linebackers who are running at full speed and not relinquish much ground
• Defensively, very quick off the snap of the ball
• Quick, sudden, effective swim move
• Good tackler
• Able to get into the hip pocket of a pulling guard and chase plays from the back in an event front
• Seems to enjoy mashing in the trenches

Taking his team’s nickname to heart, Jack Harris Jack Harris 6'3" | 295 lbs | DL Bergen Catholic | 2026 State NJ is a bit of a Bulldog in the trenches himself for Rumson-Fair Haven. Harris does a nice job at guard, particularly when pulling. Harris adjusts his path for moving defenders to ensure he secures his assignment while keeping his feet through contact and keeping his eyes inside for leakage. When drive blocking Harris maintains solid pad level throughout the process and keeps working his block all the way down field until the whistle blows. We see that in drop back protection he is able to absorb bigger, explosive pass rushers and play their leverage against them by tossing them to the ground. A patient player, we see Harris do a superb job in turn protection, flawlessly picking up an E-T stunt. For as impressed as I am with Harris’ offensive game, his defensive game might be better. Extremely quick off the snap, Harris can get into the hip pocket of pulling guards and chase them to the point of attack in the backfield; we also see Harris use the swim/arm over to get penetration. In textbook fashion, Harris can jack people up and create separation to establish control of his gap. He is also a sure tackler. Areas I hope t see Harris refine, one on both side of the ball, involve his feet. I would like to see Harris’ foot speed improve when he pulls, allowing him to get to his assignment more quickly; defensively, although he does a great job of getting hands on, extending, and controlling his gap, college coaches will go nuts once he begins to walk offensive linemen into their own backfield and establish a new line of scrimmage.  Statistically Harris was good for 24.5 (7), 7 TFL, 2 sacks, 1 FF, and FR during his sophomore season.

Rumson-Fair Haven is a perennial, local power. They do not retool, they reload. If all goes according to his plan this fall, o-lineman Jack Harris Jack Harris 6'3" | 295 lbs | DL Bergen Catholic | 2026 State NJ will complete the reloading process on their o-line in 2023.

At 6’3″ 300lb, the rising sophomore has all the physical tools to make an immediate impact on the varsity level. We see on Harris’ twitter that he is constantly working all year round. In the middle of February, he is out on the gridiron putting in work getting his feet right. Feet are important, but also are hands and explosion. I anticipate Harris’ legs being under him too, as he has hit the plyometric boxes hard. He also hand spars with teammates so he can keep the hands of defenders off of him. Harris either also has aspirations to play college football, or wants to learn from the best, as he has been active in attending the college camp circuit this coming spring.

With a strong returning cast in the fold and a dedicated, committed freshman on the brink, the Bulldogs will continue to strive to be top dogs in the Shore Conference.
