UCF defensive end commit Justin Harris has only been playing football for a couple of years, but quickly earned a four-star ranking on 247Sports following his senior season where he finished with 28 sacks.

The 6-foot-6 Harris committed to the Knights in July, but that hasn't stopped other schools from trying to flip the talented pass rusher. Harris took an official visit to UCF on October 15th and has remained solid to the Knights throughout the process. Running back coach Ryan Held went for an in-home visit during the open recruiting period last week.

While Harris tells Knights247 that he remains solid with the Knights, he'll be going on a couple of visits in January, including making a trip down to Orlando to visit UCF.

Harris tells Knights247 that he will be taking official visits to Baylor (January 17th) and LSU (January 27th), but will also be taking an unofficial visit to UCF on January 21st. Because Harris already took his official visit to UCF, an unofficial visit is the only way Harris can come back down to campus.

He will be visiting Baylor because of his relationship with new Baylor head coach Matt Rhule and he will be taking an official visit to LSU because of his relationship with Ed Orgeron and being from Louisiana, the Tigers were his dream school. UCF will have to hold on to Harris for one month, but Harris insists that he's solid to the Knights.

When asked if he'll make a decision after his visits, Harris responded, "I made my decision already," referring to already being committed to UCF.



Seems pretty solid to UCF but you never know with Coach O!

Would love to see LSU grab another beast from EA. It's been a while, but the last one worked out really well.

Just checked out his highlights. He's a raw physical freak. O will turn him into a monster.

LSU wants him at TE this is accurate. You're getting down voted by people who don't know anything although they are probably just trying to fit it on this board. And again I have no source/I'm not special I just read a pay site earlier.

Nope. All he got to do is reach and grab the QB

He has tremendous potential at DE / OLB and a pass rusher. Maybe a TE, but finding strong pass rushers is always a priority. Local kid with big upside.

Great OLB in the mold of Hunter/Mingo/Key.

Les miles wanted him at TE. Hartis wasnt intetested. In a recent sec country article harris said that coach o never stopped talking to him and that o liked him as a DE, which is what harris wants to be in college.

Les Miles had an obsession with TE's. He liked to collect them to sit on the shelf and never catch passes. He was a peculiar individual

One could argue that very good TEs are in even shorter supply. How many great TEs do you have in a class per year. Maybe 3-4?
