2026 5-star TE Kendre Harrison sets commitment date

One of the top junior prospects in the nation is set to come off the board later this month.

Reidsville (N.C.) five-star tight end Kendre Harrison is set to announce his commitment on Nov. 30, he tells On3’s Hayes Fawcett. The two-sport star will choose between Florida State, Oregon, Miami, North Carolina, Penn State and Tennessee.

Harrison is the No. 15 overall prospect and top-ranked TE in the 2026 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 2 junior in the state of North Carolina.

On the basketball court, Harrison is a top-50 prospect and the No. 8 power forward in the nation.

Harrison has stayed busy this fall visiting his top contenders. He visited Penn State earlier this month and also got out to see UNC, Tennessee and Oregon last month. The in-state Tar Heels and Tennessee are two teams that have been consistently mentioned at the top of Harrison’s list this fall.

Kendre Harrison Scouting Summary

On3 writes this of Harrison as a prospect:

“Freakish two-sport athlete who is one of the most physically imposing prospects in the nation, regardless of class. A true ‘first off the bus’ type. Listed at 6-foot-7, 230 pounds. Plays both tight end and defensive end for his high school team. Moves like a much smaller player. Runs well and shows the ability to separate from linebackers. Has considerable mismatch ability as a pass catcher. Does not lumber unlike many players of his size. Also flashes intriguing upside as a pass rusher on defense. Doubles as a national basketball prospect with high major offers. Averaged over 21 points and 15 rebounds per game as a high school freshman on the hardwood. Has genuine positional ambiguity at this stage in his evaluation, but owns one of the higher physical upsides in the 2026 cycle early on.”
