4-star EDGE Cortez Harris narrows list to 10 schools

Upper Marlboro (Md.) Riverdale Baptist four-star EDGE Cortez Harris has already locked in a pair of official visits for this summer. Now, he’s narrowing his list to 10 schools.

Penn State, Tennessee, Florida, Texas A&M, Syracuse, Michigan, South Carolina, Maryland, Virginia Tech and Michigan State all made the latest cut for Harris.

He will take official visits to College Park, Maryland (June 14) and State College, Pennsylvania (June 21) next month.

The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Harris has visited Penn State twice since September.

“I talk to them all the time,” Harris told BWI. “Between Coach Deion [Barnes], Coach [James] Franklin and all the way down to the guys in the recruiting staff, they FaceTime me and check on me all the time. They’re all great guys. . . it was only right that I planned an official.”

Harris is the nation’s No. 192 overall prospect, No. 24 edge rusher and No. 4 recruit from Maryland in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Penn State currently holds a slight lead over Maryland in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM). The Nittany Lions sit at 47.9 percent in the RPM, while the Terrapins have a 33.7 percent chance of landing Harris.
