Lamar transfer OT Bless Harris flips to Florida State from UCF
Offensive tackle Bless Harris flipped his commitment from UCF to Florida State after visiting Tallahassee, Fla this weekend.
“It’s a blessing to be able to have this opportunity to come out here,” Harris told 247Sports’ Zach Blostein. “But being able to have another opportunity to come to a Power Five who has needs and being able to come in and probably play right away.”
Harris played two seasons at FCS Lamar before entering the transfer portal in September. He playing in 10 games as a freshman and then started five games at left tackle during the spring 2021 season before suffering a season-ending injury.
“They have needs and I need to be ready to come in and come play right away,” Harris said.
Florida State’s offensive line currently has two graduate transfers starting on the line, and Bless Harris said he believes he can start on the line next season.
