Chicago D-Back Jermari Harris Commits to Hawkeyes

Seems like a Phil Parker Special type of guy
Really like this guy, highlights show great cover skill and a sneaky ability to pick off passes, plus he hits as hard as he can ala Bob Sanders. Might have the same issues with health hitting like that but man, good looking player.

The fact that they've been in contact with him for what seems like forever makes me optimistic too. We know they like to slow play guys if they can keep them under the radar.
 
Considering we return 4 corners with multiple career starts and DJ Johnson I would guess his chances of early play time at corner aren’t good nor are they needed.

Based on his highlights, I'd say he could compete for playing time come next fall. He's big, athletic, fast, and confident. We played multiple corners this year that don't check all of those boxes.

I like our current guys too, but I think IowaTeddy has a point. We've played at least 1 true freshman at CB each of the last 3 years (Rugamba, Hankins, Moss and Brents).

Phil definitely isn't afraid to throw the young guys in there if he thinks they have the stuff.

I would like to see OJ slide back to safety, but my top 3 corners would be Hankins, Brents, and DJ. That has the potential to be a very solid group.
 
Montini has produced a lot of great D1 talent over the years and Mr. Harris looks like another one. Welcome aboard.
